| hjlittman | Scratch Built Curtiss P6E | Build | 09-Apr-10 14:13 |  | | Views : 1756 | | It's starting to take shape. This, revised upper wing has laser cut parts, all the rest hand cut. |
| hjlittman | Scratch Built Curtiss P6E | Build | 09-Apr-10 14:11 |  | | Views : 1690 | | Finally got to the fueslage. I misplaced my small try-square that day, found it later. |
| hjlittman | Scratch Built Curtiss P6E | Build | 09-Apr-10 14:09 |  | | Views : 1745 | | Printing parts on paper and sticking them to the balsa is a lot better than back in the days of carbon paper, but this is another thing that goes a lot quicker in laser cut. |
| hjlittman | Scratch Built Curtiss P6E | Build | 09-Apr-10 14:06 |  | | Views : 1866 | | Have the plans redrawn and am now working on the lower wing. Things like this strut pocket will work much better in laser cut. |
| hjlittman | Scratch Built Curtiss P6E | Build | 09-Apr-10 14:03 |  | | Views : 1679 | | My first try at the wing. This is my first project using a drafting program. I'm never going back to T-square and triangle! The reference I was using wasn't accurate and the wing outline is wrong. Also, I didn't like the placement of the spars, rib spacing and the airfoil I was using so, "back to the drawing board!" |
