| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 07-Aug-07 22:39 |  | | Views : 726 | | Wing root temp attached to eyeball the fit. The wood part of the wings, colorful clamps from a good friend, recommended reading material. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 07-Aug-07 22:36 |  | | Views : 679 | | They had to see what the wings will look like...no dihedral as yet. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 07-Aug-07 21:26 |  | | Views : 642 | | They detached the wings from the wing root. The wings will be planked with bass, the root attached to the fuselage and covered with aluminum. Two workers, two projects, we have not decided who does what! |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 06-Aug-07 21:07 |  | | Views : 687 | | They came home from school with this. Sasha wants to get his flippers wet with an inexpensive and indestructible, they hope, RC plane. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 06-Aug-07 20:55 |  | | Views : 650 | | Removed from the paper the left and right wings match almost perfectly. Now as a pair they can be filed, dremmeled and sanded to a perfect match. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 06-Aug-07 20:02 |  | | Views : 693 | | Original plan has 8 sentences in wing construction. Very open ended. That is a 1 ft metal ruler under the fuselage in front of the wing. 5.5 hrs of progress today, a lot to go but I am happy to be back at the build! |

| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 06-Aug-07 19:59 |  | | Views : 608 | | Many changes, and I hope, improvements to the original wing plan. Length, width, and dimnesional size of the building material was altered. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 06-Aug-07 19:56 |  | | Views : 669 | | The start of wing construction. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 01-Aug-07 18:17 |  | | Views : 700 | | Cleaned the workshop for wing production. Made a new building board to fit the wings. I had to enlarge the original wing plane to give a wing to fuselage ratio exactly like the real Mig. Off to the hills to rape and pillage for a few days! |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 01-Aug-07 18:14 |  | | Views : 662 | | Learned colleagues, tow coats of sealer, the second not yet sanded. Is this baby behind yet? |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 30-Jul-07 19:56 |  | | Views : 667 | | Initial fitting of the wings seem to indicate that they are very close to the "Real Thing". The fillets do not appear. I may widen the wing root a tad. The trailing edge of the Mig almost extends to the rear of the canopy. Computers, great resource. P |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 30-Jul-07 19:02 |  | | Views : 693 | | Today marks 99 hrs into this bird. This is what I have to show for the time. Tonight I will enlarge and print the wing plans. |
