I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

I think I will try to use the small Dubro hinges shown in the previous photo, now to do the right side. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 03-Jul-08 04:42 Views : 848 The left aileron is almost done. I didn't have any triangular stock for the front edge of the ailerons so I carved down some of the extra square stock from the wing LE. These small hinges just might work if I shorten them a bit. The motor arrived today. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 02-Jul-08 01:05 Views : 885 The wing has a lot of ribs, 1.25" between centers. There is no spar like with the Aero Star or my Molt Models kits so I guess lots of ribs and stringers is how they get strength. I want the ailerons exactly to scale but the ribs are at the wrong angle. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 30-Jun-08 19:36 Views : 797 The kit supplied leading edges weighed 4.3 grams and 8 grams each. The high weight was not the issue so much as the imbalance it would have created. The LHS came to the rescue with some good wood. Also, my tailwheel versus the kit's vinyl wheel. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 30-Jun-08 02:08 Views : 788 Fuse as shown weights nearly 0.6 oz, I am going to delay putting on stringers till I have more of the details sorted out. The LPS motor and small battery may not be enough so I either need the EPS-300 shown or a brushless equivalent weighing much less. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 29-Jun-08 12:30 Views : 708 Yesterday it hit 102F so I restricted myself to activities that did not generateheat (few people around here have A/C). This build is for the 2008 "G Ghallenge".

I'm going to mail them out tomorrow morning so you should get them Friday or maybe Saturday at the latest. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 08-Jun-08 16:00 Views : 733 I have been getting my hiney kicked by Poppy's canopy despite all I learned from my first victim, DD. The plan is to fill the wood grain with Hobbylite then shrink down a thin layer of plastic to provide a smooth surface for the canopy. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 21-May-08 02:42 Views : 874 The first coat of resin is sanded down and 1/8" sheet has been applied around all edges to ensure a little excess plastic to work with when demolding and trimming to fit the plane. The purple disk is some extra resin, it is hard as a rock. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 19-May-08 23:07 Views : 804 Poppy's canopy mold arrived today, shown here inside the kit canopy and with the stock plans. The finishing resin is said to provide a heat resistant surface to protect the wood from dents and dings and to sand to a smooth finish. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 10-Apr-08 13:15 Views : 1061 Maybe this will help. On the top is Poppy's and the bottom are the original plans from my kit. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 14-Feb-08 16:56 Views : 926 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.
