SteveM | Guillows Series 1400 - F-15 Eagle | Aerial | 20-Feb-08 23:32 | | Views : 2318 | Just after the lunar eclipse. My camera and I are not very good, maybe DD and his Sony have a better picture. |
SteveM | Guillows Fokker D-VIII | Build | 20-Feb-08 12:29 | | Views : 1257 | I ended up having to remake the mold half that had air bubble issues. After a coat of paint you wouldn't know which was the original. |
SteveM | Guillows Fokker D-VIII | Build | 19-Feb-08 22:07 | | Views : 1182 | The mold halves. The one on the right came out great but the one on the left has air bubble issues. |
SteveM | Guillows Fokker D-VIII | Build | 19-Feb-08 18:06 | | Views : 1177 | In about 4 hours (7pm PST) the top half will be cured and I can start casting some resin. Rubber mold cost is about $6, not too bad but don't go crazy with it. |
SteveM | Guillows Fokker D-VIII | Build | 19-Feb-08 18:04 | | Views : 1269 | Alignment lugs carved out and rubber-to-rubber release agent applied. Don't worry, I'll add this whole process to my web page on duplicating plastic parts. |
SteveM | Guillows Fokker D-VIII | Build | 19-Feb-08 13:55 | | Views : 1186 | Waiting for the first half of the mold to cure. Do any other Fokkers out there need a cowl besides DD and myself? |

SteveM | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 19-Feb-08 13:53 | | Views : 1751 | DD was right, the Typhoon decals have a lot in common with the Mosquito decals. But I will probably use high res scans, the Gimp, and a printer to make my own. |
SteveM | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 14-Feb-08 16:58 | | Views : 1691 | An idea I took from DD, 1-1/2" and 3/4" "tailwheel" from Great Planes to replace the kit wheels. |
SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Build | 14-Feb-08 16:56 | | Views : 971 | GWS LPS-RXC-AS with EP-8043 prop and 300 mAh LiPo battery. 1.9 A @ 7.68 V and a delightful amount of torque. |
SteveM | Guillows Series 1400 - F-15 Eagle | Build | 11-Feb-08 04:16 | | Views : 2422 | Exhaust painted, starting to build the missiles. |
SteveM | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Build | 11-Feb-08 04:00 | | Views : 830 | A 2-5 cell LiPo protection circuit. I will use it with a 2 cell 300 mAh pack, GW/LPS-RXC-AS, and EP8043 prop for the 2008 G challenge. |
SteveM | Dumas Kit #213, F4U Corsair | Build | 11-Feb-08 03:54 | | Views : 982 | A little LiPo protection circuit designed from parts from my "magic box". Will shut down at 3V and stay off till 3.5V or higher. |
