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

Most of this gets covered as is and will require cutting into the covering if a repair or adjustment is needed. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 04-Oct-08 17:23 Views : 767 I haven't quite figured out yet how to best link up the rear wheel as the little arm for it moves not just in the X-Y plane but also a little in the Z plane. My best ideas so far are to either use an elastic material or a pull-pull. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 04-Oct-08 17:20 Views : 812 The motor is mounted and stringers are starting to go on. If you look close you can see push rods for the rudder and elevator. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 26-Sep-08 16:37 Views : 827 I finally got around to fixing the tail wheel. I used 1/32" plywood for the support which will hopefully be strong enough without adding too much weight. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 09-Sep-08 15:15 Views : 757 Sometimes I forget that I work a 3 minute walk from a 6 story library with 1.4 million books that will loan them to me for 3 months. No need to mail me the book now DD, I can read this copy and don't have to return it till December 8th. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 07-Sep-08 02:00 Views : 951 Here is where the wheel really wants to sit. I guess it is time to grind off all that epoxy and find a way to tilt the brass tubing forward so that the tail wheel will want to rest properly. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 07-Sep-08 01:58 Views : 837 The tail wheel was working just fine till I put on the main wheels and gave it a test roll. This is also the first time I have used a wheel with a metal hub so I was actually able to solder on metal washers to hold it in place. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 07-Sep-08 01:55 Views : 774 I was going to use small Du-Bro hinges on the tailfeathers till the unthinkable happened, someone set a "free" box outside their office door with a box of perfectly good 3.5" floppies in it. So now I have hinge material that it just the right size. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 30-Aug-08 23:48 Views : 836 After doing some more work today I couldn't resist temporarily attaching the tailfeathers to see if it wouldn't look more like a P-51. The next step is to install the tailwheel in its scale location then figure out how to make all the linkages work. SteveM Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang Build 20-Aug-08 02:41 Views : 797 I went with the FF open frame on the non-movable parts and used some 10 lb. cu. ft. C grain for the movable parts (the aileron will have to be cut out to fit the rudder). The kit supplied wood for this was as heavy as plywood so I opted not to use it. SteveM Midwest Products Aero-Star .40 Flying 30-Jul-08 12:45 Views : 1146 I landed and came to a stop where the crossing had been attempted. I hoped to get a picture of them walking past the plane, but she would have nothing to do with it and blew at it (sounds like a sneeze) several times to voice her distrust and alarm. SteveM Midwest Products Aero-Star .40 Flying 30-Jul-08 12:43 Views : 637 I have heard of full sized aircraft hitting deer on the runway, but this morning was my first encounter nearly hitting one with a model airplane on a runway only 100' long!
