| jgood | Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide | Build | 25-Apr-10 17:44 |  | | Views : 1062 | | All was aligned perfectly, until having to bend the nose in to join the sides with F2. You need an awful lot of bending, on those already laminated sides. Unfortnately, mine did not bend in at exactly the same rate, and it's slightly off scew now. Also, the stress on that F2 is so great that it actually split the wood on the 1/8th sq balsa upright. It's a good idea to soak these in CA once it's in place to make them a bit stronger. |

| jgood | Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide | Build | 25-Apr-10 17:38 |  | | Views : 1014 | | Unfortnately, my kit was missing the sheet with B1 on it. I had to call Dumas, and they sent me (Free of charge) the correct sheet. That came within a week, good service! This was this morning, sides almost framed. |

| jgood | Molt Models Tyro | Aerial | 21-Apr-10 05:25 |  | | Views : 1406 | | Got some time up in the air this morning. I need to put a darker colour on the wings, the silver is terrible for visiblity against a blue sky, almost invisible. Secondly, the new camera (a Pentax Optio S10) does not seem too good at the moment. Most of the shots were blurry, even after forcing the ISO up to 400, locking the focus on infinity, and trying the 'sports' mode. I shall do some more research - anyone want an S10 going cheap?! :) |
