| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 27-Apr-17 12:12 |  | | Views : 266 | | The planks are being white glued and stacked - the bronze side face of one plank is glued to the bronze side face of the next plank, and the burnt sienna side face of one plank is glued to the burnt sienna face of the next plank etc etc - the glue should dry invisible. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 27-Apr-17 12:07 |  | | Views : 275 | | The planks and many clamps are ready, plus two 1/8" thick larger "bare" blasa plank/sheets for protection of the lamination planks from the clamp teeth. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 27-Apr-17 12:02 |  | | Views : 258 | | Completed "repair" tissue on jigs, D7 plane, and completed prop lamination planks ready to glue together - Bronze Metallic on one face of the plank, and Burnt Sienna Gloss on the other side of the plank - three layers of brushed on acrylic |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 26-Apr-17 20:49 |  | | Views : 286 | | Speaking of snakes, I caught one of these "Fox Snakes" bare-handed 50 yrs ago when I was 10. It was 6 feet long and 6" in diameter, trying to slither away fast up the far bank of the creek near our house - I instinctively poounced on him right away with a good firm grip on his neck just behind the head as I held him down with my foot. He coiled right up my arm like the constrictor he is, and I brought him into the kitchen to freak out my mom ... then let him go. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 26-Apr-17 11:24 |  | | Views : 292 | | After I broke the rubber on the Cabinaire from too many winds, I just put the plane on the shelf and went to bed. I snapped awake in the middle of the night, with the sudden realization, that that bunched up tightly wound knot of rubber in the back of the fuse, could explode at any time, and take out my other models on the shelf ! I got up and started to cut it out, and it was striking out and snapping at me and the plane, like an angry, coiled up, DIAMOND BACK RATTLESNAKE !! - trying to do more damage right to the very end ... I have 4 fuse tissue panels to replace. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Scratch Built Curtiss Pusher | Parked | 26-Apr-17 10:36 |  | | Views : 484 | | This is my Ailerons diagram - your diagram showed me that I have to reverse the double elevator control wires on my diagram, to coincide with forward/backward movement of the control stick column/wheel , that push pulls the foreplane rod connected to the foreplane fin on the single foreplane wing - so that elevators and foreplane work synchronously. |

| LASTWOODSMAN | Scratch Built Curtiss Pusher | Parked | 26-Apr-17 10:29 |  | | Views : 484 | | BPGuy - this is my hand drafted diagram of Rudder/Elevator for my model - there is no spinning steering wheel for rudder control, it has aileron and elevator control drive arms (not small horns), "Guide Tubes" and a single pivoting rudder (no fin) with a rudder "Tiller" |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 25-Apr-17 22:14 |  | | Views : 284 | | Heywood - this is what I meant when I asked about 3D Isometric (iso) computer drawn pics on the plan. I think just the more recent releases by Dumas have these - I find them very handy! - 18" Spad 7 |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 24-Apr-17 12:01 |  | | Views : 258 | | I applied 3 coats of Krylon Clear Gloss rattle can spray in my makeshift cardboard box spray booth in the bathroom that has a ceiling fan - just close the door! |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 24-Apr-17 11:56 |  | | Views : 289 | | The tissue did dry drum tight. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 24-Apr-17 11:55 |  | | Views : 271 | | This wet tissue was spray misted with water - instead of pure atomized spray, there were small droplets of water on the tissue, which do leave a round water mark - I need a new spray atomizer from Dollarama. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 24-Apr-17 11:51 |  | | Views : 269 | | Tissue is glued on - one red and one black. |
