| hjlittman | Easy Built Heinkel 112 | Build | 20-May-10 09:35 |  | | Views : 1306 | | A veritable orgy of covering. Working on the Heinkle and four other models at once. The Easy built instructions say you can can wet cover with the domestic tissue supplied. Well, sort of. Works on the fuselage if you are very careful. The wings threatened to become pretzles. Didn't even try on the tail pieces. Still looks like it'[s going to hit that 25 gram target weight without rubber. |
| hjlittman | Easy Built Heinkel 112 | Build | 14-May-10 13:13 |  | | Views : 1281 | | Two pin nose block key. I saw this type of nose block key used very effectively by some other modelers and tried it. Now it's about all I use. Former and nose plug are faced with 1/64 inch plywood. Pins are bamboo. Thrust button is Dare, not old style Guillow's thrust button supplied in kit. New style Guillow's thrust buttons are OK. |

| hjlittman | Easy Built Heinkel 112 | Build | 14-May-10 13:08 |  | | Views : 1259 | | Tacked together for obligatory "bones shot". This has a 24 inche wing span and 80 square inches of wing area. Even with all the extra gussets and braces it still weighs only 15 grams as seen. I estimate that covering, details and prop will add another 10 grams. |
| hjlittman | Easy Built Heinkel 112 | Build | 30-Apr-10 07:08 |  | | Views : 1263 | | Properly gulled wing. Uncovered, this whole wing half only weighs 2 grams even with the extra parts I added for strength. |
