Goofed on the captioning. Assembling the main prop drives. On the original Flyer the main tube connects directly from the axle of the engine to the prop mounts. Here, I'm holding one of the additional tubes that will contain the drive chains.

Used small copper writing to simulate fuel line, ultra thin strips of scotch tape as metal hold-down tabs over the oil and fuel lines leaving enough to route through the plane to the fuel tank. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows 1903 Wright Flyer Build 26-Jun-15 22:55 Views : 965 For the carburetor I used a soda straw and a small ring from (again) an arts & crafts store.

Also took a small 10mm (I think) dia, wire for the oil line. And used a couple of small slices of tape for the connection at the oil line as shown on the real engine. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows 1903 Wright Flyer Build 26-Jun-15 22:43 Views : 862 Sorry about the confusion on classifying the aircraft. Still new at this posting. I purchased small springs from arts and crafts store and cut small sections of copper wire for each cylinder.
