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

Making the model more authentic. To a pilot, the rigging wire was life and death. Cables stretch with time, fatigue, and snap. Wire tension controls wing alignment, incidence angle, and rigidity. The “Rigger” was an important member of the flight crew. Wire length and tension is influenced by change in temperature. All of the former variables influence lift, maneuverability. and flight. In the “Fog of war” I wonder how diligently the issue of proper cable tensioning was addressed. How many flight mishaps occurred to lack of attention to cable tension.

Perhaps the melody was not perceived due to the exhaust of a 12 cylinder engine and straight exhaust pipes!

John M Oshust ManzanoLaser Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.12a Build 21-Mar-15 15:41 Views : 577 The lengthy task of rigging installation has begun. The effort today focused on the dorsal surface of the upper plane.

John M Oshust ManzanoLaser Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.12a Build 21-Mar-15 15:39 Views : 558 This shall be the first time that we will attempt to wire with three diameters. Placing different diameters in locations as listed on the wiring diagram. Page (32 in total) :  <<   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   >>  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
