| NATOMike | Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 | Parked | 21-Jun-20 10:27 |  | | Views : 846 | | Attached the upper wing by starting with the inner struts, little hard without "slots " for the rear struts |
| NATOMike | Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 | Build | 15-Jun-20 12:44 |  | | Views : 785 | | Finished covering with tissue. I discovered that the B5 pieces were so long I could not place the lower wing underneath the fuselage. Spent some time sanding it down. I am beginning to assemble the parts, but I am not sure the nose cone will go on easily to make it flyable. I can already sense the CG and the CM are way off. |
| NATOMike | Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 | Parked | 15-Jun-20 12:42 |  | | Views : 773 | | The lower wing was a serious challenge and I avoided making any control surface moveable. I originally wanted to make a flyable model, but not sure that will happen. |
| NATOMike | Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 | Parked | 15-Jun-20 12:41 |  | | Views : 838 | | Started lower wing, but decided not to build diherdyl or make the aileron separate. This has been a challenge so far and I am frustrated with the complexity. I overshot with a more advanced build |
| NATOMike | Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 | Parked | 15-Jun-20 12:38 |  | | Views : 756 | | This is the first time I had to shape the leading edge. I used sandpaper, but should have used a knife/razor. |
| NATOMike | Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 | Build | 15-Jun-20 12:37 |  | | Views : 753 | | Finally catching up with the pictures. Upper Wing done |
