Oh yeah. Building the Wright Bros' engine. Here to make the flat plate on top of the engine. Used a T pin to push out the rivets on the other side. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows 1903 Wright Flyer Parked 26-Jun-15 00:22 Views : 960 The Wright Bros. had the rigging interconnected such that the wing warping rigging from the pilot's cradle to the wings were also directed to a couple of bellcranks that connected to the rudder. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows 1903 Wright Flyer Parked 25-Jun-15 19:10 Views : 861 With the legs having the added depth and bottom tie down supports, the Wright engine is starting to really take shape Skyediamonds1985 Guillows 1903 Wright Flyer Build 25-Jun-15 19:08 Views : 823 Each leg was given its own "feet." These "feet" are used as supports to tie the engine down to the lower wing Skyediamonds1985 Guillows 1903 Wright Flyer Build 25-Jun-15 19:03 Views : 847 Each leg to the engine was given some added depth Skyediamonds1985 Guillows 1903 Wright Flyer Build 25-Jun-15 19:01 Views : 811 To help give the legs some added dimension, additional small pieces of plastic card were cut to size of each leg Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview Skyediamonds1985 Guillows 1903 Wright Flyer Build 25-Jun-15 18:58 Views : 796 The two plastic sides were then super glued to the sides of the engine block. We can see how the Wright engine is taking shape Skyediamonds1985 Guillows 1903 Wright Flyer Build 25-Jun-15 18:56 Views : 926 After cutting the two plastic sides, I hollowed out the side of the engine block for the gears and used a black marking pen to darken the interior Skyediamonds1985 Guillows 1903 Wright Flyer Build 25-Jun-15 18:53 Views : 884 I used a marking pen to denote the outlines of the legs Skyediamonds1985 Guillows 1903 Wright Flyer Build 25-Jun-15 18:50 Views : 855 Making the two remaining sides, I traced the outline of the engine onto additional card stock. I also allowed for extra plastic card along the bottom for the legs of the engine Skyediamonds1985 Guillows 1903 Wright Flyer Parked 25-Jun-15 18:46 Views : 836 I then bent the card along the score line to form a smooth side. Note the small ridge along the fold line. Skyediamonds1985 Guillows 1903 Wright Flyer Parked 25-Jun-15 18:43 Views : 875 Notice the plastic covers both the flat portion of the engine and extends overhead just enough for the cylinders. I scored the card prior to super-gluing it on the balsa block Page (56 in total) :  <<   50   51   52   53   54  [ 55 ]  56  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
