John Cooper | Guillows Series 300 - Fiesler Storch | Build | 03-Mar-14 12:10 | | Views : 968 | It was a bit of a pain to cover the parts where the outer panels meet the upper window. In some cases I needed tweezers to pull the tissue in place. I will also be adding extended slats. |
John Cooper | Guillows Series 300 - Fiesler Storch | Build | 03-Mar-14 12:06 | | Views : 837 | A Dumas, Not a Guillow's Storch. I am covering it with blue tissue, chalked with black. It will have a post war Aeronavale (French Navy Air Arm) paint scheme. I won't be using much paint, however. The cowl here is covered with many bits of blue tissue. |

John Cooper | Guillows Series 300 - DeHavilland Beaver | Build | 23-Jan-14 13:32 | | Views : 1176 | Finished, balanced and weighing in at 33.8g (1.39oz), without rubber. This is a good weight for indoor flying and may even be able to R.O.G. off a smooth floor. Unfortunately I built the float struts too short and needed to use a smaller home-build 3 blade balsa prop instead of the kit prop. |
John Cooper | Guillows Series 300 - DeHavilland Beaver | Build | 22-Jan-14 20:30 | | Views : 1071 | The struts for the floats are supported by very thin steel wire. They have quite a bit of flex and I will need this in order to land safely on a hard gym floor. |
