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

I handfiled and set the teeth on the plate to 16 TPI (crosscut). This project was just about as finiky as building a model. Anymore I need a LED headlamp and 2.50 glasses to keep the saw teeth in focus. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Reference 27-Feb-15 09:40 Views : 450 I was feeling burnt out on the XF-92 last week, so decided to catch up on other projects. A freind had brought over a old back saw for me to refurbish. I eneded up keeping the folded spine and replacing the saw plate with some 0.032" spring steel and makinig a new handle out of some localy harvested Black Walnut. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 25-Feb-15 07:44 Views : 464 Yesterday, it was in the upper 40's. Motorcycles were out and what was left of the snow melted. Today: Blizzard warning with 10" expected, all the schools closed and (-) 16 deg for tonight. The old saying in Iowa: "If you don't like the weather just wait an hour it will change". GErturde and Heathcliffe are once again bemoaning the fact that they did not head to warmer climes. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 23-Feb-15 12:24 Views : 458 The best way to bend brass tubing is to anneal it it first by heating until it is just starts to turn a dull red, let cool then slip the spring over the tubing and (within limits) bend away. Aluminum tubing is soft enough to bend without any annealling. The little butane torch at the top was purchased from Menards: $6.00 for the torch and $5.00 for a life-time supply of Butane in a aerosol can. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 23-Feb-15 12:19 Views : 434 DonC and all: This is a set of bending springs from K&S (the folks that make brass tubing) that I use to bend shapes. the set ia available at your LHS or Hobby Lobby. It can be used on tubing from 1/16" to 3/16" O.D. (I don't think that you can find it for $1.75 anymore however. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 19-Feb-15 13:11 Views : 464 David; In warmer times, we hang out a Lake Okoboji, about 15 miles north. It is one of two "Blue Water" lakes, the other being Lake Geneva in Switzerland. Deep and cold! Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 19-Feb-15 11:33 Views : 421 Nose gear and well. BTW: yesterday was day of frustration and "Blue Haze" in the workshop. The Rapidogrph knock-off pens that I mentioned earlier not only don't work well on glossy surfaces, but don't dry either. After manhandling the plane to finish the panel lines, I found smudges, runs and fingerprints all over. I spent the better part of the afternoon with Q-tips and various cleaning fluids trying to repair the damage. I finally ended up using a Sharpie "Ultra fine poiint" laundry pen to finish the job. I had always planned on using some pastels to simulate the many rivet lines visable on the real plane, so maybe I can camoflauge some of the damage. Drat!!! rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 19-Feb-15 11:25 Views : 479 Better view of the Main L/G. I need to find my cut-outs and patterns for the L/G doors and start on them. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 19-Feb-15 11:24 Views : 468 GEar: Down and Locked! rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 19-Feb-15 08:06 Views : 435 Night visitor: what a mooch. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 16-Feb-15 16:20 Views : 603 Here's the whole bunch, ready for painting and installation. BTW; I bought some Testors brush-on acrylic "aluminum", don't bother. I'll be airbrushing them with good old solvent based paint. The nose gear jig will alos serve as it's mounting base when installed in the gear well. And I still need tomount the retraction cylinder on the nose gear llinkage (I forgot to do that until I looked at the image just now). Oh Well. rayl Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A Build 16-Feb-15 16:08 Views : 450 Must be the day for Landing Gear! Here is the final parts breakdown for the main L.G w/ TIre & Hub, disc brake setup and anti-shimmy sissors.
