| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 17-May-17 15:44 |  | | Views : 826 | | Stab repair is completed. The top of the back of the fuse has a tiny 1/16" square block of balsa glued on top of it, for positive incidence for the Stabilizer. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 17-May-17 15:40 |  | | Views : 738 | | Stab repair for broken leading edge. The original tissue color has faded in three years. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 17-May-17 14:39 |  | | Views : 844 | | I forgot to get my Hangar in order (Senior's Moment) - SIG "CABINAIRE" Kit # FF-20, wingspan 22" completed Oct 1, 2014 - weight 42 grams, $24.50 - no scale as it is not a real plane. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 16-May-17 21:21 |  | | Views : 716 | | Bad pic - you can barely see it, head high, going left. I let her go with 300 winds and it immediately went into a sharp left turn and steep dive and CRASHED into the soft grass !!! The right stab was twisted from a broken leading edge where I had not put in a gusset. "If at first you don't succeed ..." I am determined to get this figured out and get some good flying pics like Mlriley does. Back to the drawing board and stab repair ... |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 16-May-17 21:14 |  | | Views : 740 | | Handwinding the rubber with the help of a couple of baseball fan buddies - can you ever do a lot of winds without breaking the rubber when you use a winder ! One 12" loop of 1/8" rubber, stretched and broken in, and lubed - I tested 300 winds = a 25 second power run, 450 winds = a 37 sec power run. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 16-May-17 21:08 |  | | Views : 810 | | Winding Stooge, 22" Sig Cabinaire, me and Trapper - out to Jackson Park to give rubber band free flight a try. The Winding Stooge needed adjustments for the holes for the piano wire through the rear aluminum tube motor mount, as the plane would not fit - interference from the stab with the uprights of the stooge. |
