hjlittman | Guillows Series 300 - Cessna 150 | Build | 28-Jul-15 13:18 | | Views : 856 | 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 : 890 | 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. |
