| FireBird | Guillows Series 500 - P-40 Warhawk | Build | 28-Jun-17 21:53 |  | | Views : 2007 | | I am almost finished with this plane, it just needs the canopy and final detailing. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 28-Jun-17 16:30 |  | | Views : 721 | | 22" Sig "Customaire" - Today's progress on the fin/rudder - all fitted and blocked up, ready for "double white gluing", as per Don Ross' treatise book "Rubber Powered Model Airplanes"(1988). First glue up all surfaces 65:35 glue:water mixture, let dry, then 90:10 glue:water for final attachment. I am pondering if I even need little gussets all over the model or not ... |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 28-Jun-17 16:27 |  | | Views : 773 | | 22" Sig "Customaire" - Spent the day so far, photocopying sections of the plan, and light sanding (220 grit) all of the fuzz off of all of the sides of the "saw cut" stringers - 3/32" sq, 1/16"sq, 3/16" X 3/32", and 1/16" X 1/8" stripwood. After blowing off all of the sanding dust, I dragged each piece through my black cloth T-shirt, and I was amazed at how much sanding sawdust was still actually left on the wood. These laser-cut parts in this kit, don't seem to be as "laser-burned" that very dark brown color on the edges, as on other kits. I have heard that the way to get around that (from Dave Paul Cowell, I think), is to laser cut over glass. Anybody hear that before? I'm ready to start gluing now that all of my balsa is squeaky clean ... |

| bsadonkill | Modelcraft Pacific Ace | Parked | 27-Jun-17 16:29 |  | | Views : 982 | | This is a Comet Clipper. I did some flights up to around 400 turns. I am using a 12 inch balsa prop with 6 strands of 3/16. It looks good so far , needs right hand thrust and or rudder. I added a 1/16 of down thrust so far, might need a little more wight in the nose? |
