| hjlittman | Guillows Series 300 - Cessna 150 | Build | 28-Jul-15 13:26 |  | | Views : 1052 | | Friday, I finished the nose and did most of the general sanding and cleanup for covering. Once I got the components completed it was easy to assemble it, temporarily, with three Scuncii clips so that people could see what it looked like assembled. (I have aluminum tube pins in the wing roots to locate the wings.) The remarks from passers who did not stop to talk were interesting. The little kids said, "I want to do that!" The teenagers said, "Wow! People actually BUILD those things." The adults said. "Wow! People STILL build those things. And, the senior citizens said, "I admire your work." All in all, it was fun. Out grandson had fun with us. His parents got some time to themselves. We enjoyed our grandson even if it does remind us of why we are to old to have kids, and I got this years entry started along with some free advertising. Not a bad week! |

| hjlittman | Guillows Series 300 - Cessna 150 | Build | 28-Jul-15 13:18 |  | | Views : 850 | | Monday, I got the basic fuselage framed up and got the stringers on down to the level where you have to install the landing gear wire. On Tuesday I bent the landing gear wire (Giving some amazed onlokers a virtuoso performance, if I do say so myself.), installed it and got the rest of the stringers on. |
| hjlittman | Guillows Series 300 - Cessna 150 | Build | 28-Jul-15 13:14 |  | | Views : 883 | | Last week, we, again, had our six-year-old grandson with us for Science Camp at the California Science Center in Exposition Park. (His parents got to go to Las Vegas.) I had to drive him past downtown Los Angeles, on weekday mornings, and it made no sense to drop him off, drive home, and drive back to pick him up. As I did last year, I brought my portable building board and sat in the Science Center food court to build a model airplane while waiting for his class to be over, thus making myself a living museum display for about two and one-half hours every morning. This year I started my "G" Challenge entry, a #309, Cessna 150. This is a new, laser cut, kit and since I decided to make it a nearly out-of-the-box build (except for a removable nose, of course) I expected it to go rather quickly despite the fact that people would interrupt me to talk about what I was doing, as they did last year. The interruptions are welcome since it gives me the opportunity to promote the hobby and myself by passing out some business cards. |
