This has been one of the most maddening models I have built. I'm beginning to wonder if I no longer have the manual dexterity to build with "contest grade" (I.e. 4 to 6 pound/cu ft) wood. The fuselage is still sub 2 grams here. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview hjlittman Guillows Series 300 - Piper Cub 95 Build 14-Mar-12 15:55 Views : 566 At least it's light. The wings have not been trimmed or sanded here, but are still sub two grams per panel. I'm beginning to worry about just how much rubber it will take. hjlittman Guillows Series 300 - Piper Cub 95 Build 12-Mar-12 14:27 Views : 622 Keeping it light, I am using much thinner outlines for the fuselage. hjlittman Guillows Series 300 - Piper Cub 95 Build 12-Mar-12 14:25 Views : 591 The wing spars are also all 1/16" square. The trailing edge is 1/8" X 1/16". The leading edge is standard size, but much lighter wood. hjlittman Guillows Series 300 - Piper Cub 95 Build 06-Mar-12 16:52 Views : 603 Again, printing from scans of the plans, I layed out the formers for cutting, There are some modifications, however. The formers from B1 to B5 are on 1/20" sheet and the formers from B6 aft are 1/32" sheet to keep it light. The hole for the rubber cavity has been enlarged since flying my other Piper 95 showed the need for the additional rubber room. The stringer positions from former B5 aft have been adjusted so that the stringers will be in scale positions for the L-4, and the keel notches, top, bottom, and sides have been adjusted for narrower keels, again for lightness. hjlittman Guillows Series 300 - Piper Cub 95 Build 06-Mar-12 16:47 Views : 607 Even the stabilizer outline is no problem. hjlittman Guillows Series 300 - Piper Cub 95 Build 06-Mar-12 16:46 Views : 649 All you have to do is soak the wood strips in water, apply the glue (Original Gorilla Glue in this case), bend them around the mold, tape them down all around, and put them aside overnight to dry. You gotta love the Scotch Pre-Cut tame dispenser. My wife introduce me to that for gift wrapping and it come is real handy for this. Page (5 in total) :  1   2  [ 3 ]  4   5  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
