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

The next step is to install the tailwheel in its scale location then figure out how to make all the linkages work. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 20-Aug-08 02:41 Views : 792 I went with the FF open frame on the non-movable parts and used some 10 lb. cu. ft. C grain for the movable parts (the aileron will have to be cut out to fit the rudder). The kit supplied wood for this was as heavy as plywood so I opted not to use it. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 29-Jul-08 22:47 Views : 843 Some of us are young enough to enjoy video games and old enough to enjoy working with our hands too. Almost done fabricating the motor mount. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 25-Jul-08 02:57 Views : 803 Here you can see the brass insert and the hole where the dowel goes. I used orderless thin CA on the brass insert so I will find out in a few hours if it effects me like normal CA. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 25-Jul-08 02:54 Views : 813 As promised, nylon wing bolt in front and wood dowel in the rear. I just used the dowel that was supplied in the kit for the rubber motor. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 14-Jul-08 13:16 Views : 867 The famous flight-of-four lead by the Lou IV. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 13-Jul-08 18:47 Views : 800 Poor man's wing incidence gage, looks like I am a few degrees positive. Stringers gave significant strength and stiffness to the wing, more so than the wing of my MM Hellcat which uses a main spar with webbing. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 11-Jul-08 23:14 Views : 777 Cable moves 1/8" in each direction and ailerons are free to move up to 5/8" in each direction. That means I want to size the aileron horn to give me a 4:1 or 5:1 movement ratio. Nylon wing bolt and brass insert will attach the wing LE to the fuselage. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 09-Jul-08 02:26 Views : 821 Progress is slow but I enjoy the engineering challenges, though on this build I am copying the aileron setup of the Molt Hellcat. 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 : 815 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 : 853 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 : 766 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.
