| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 23-Apr-17 18:29 |  | | Views : 298 | | mlriley - you inspired me to put in new rubber, a downthrust angled balsa plate on the front, and a metal "rubber hook" for the prop hook to rubber connection, into my 22" Sig Cabinaire. It was still balanced. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 22-Apr-17 22:12 |  | | Views : 303 | | The other side of the planks is painted Bronze Metallic. There are three coats of acrylic brush on paint on each side of eight planks = 48 sides were painted. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 22-Apr-17 22:08 |  | | Views : 290 | | Planks are blocked up securely and painted on one side with Burnt Sienna Brown Gloss. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 22-Apr-17 21:57 |  | | Views : 353 | | I cut out eight balsa prop lamination planks - 10" X 1 1/2" X 1/16" - to paint up for wood grain, and then glue them stacked on top of each other to make a balsa prop block to carve the Axial prop for the 200 HP BMW engine. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 22-Apr-17 21:45 |  | | Views : 381 | | This is the other Axial prop made for the 160 HP Mercedes engine for a Fokker D7. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 22-Apr-17 21:42 |  | | Views : 361 | | I just figured out the "Snipping Tool" to get a good image of the Axial prop for the 200 HP BMW engine for the Fokker D7 - this is the one I drafted. |

| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 21-Apr-17 09:04 |  | | Views : 498 | | This was the only diagram I could find - I took ruler measurements off of this diagram, got out my calculator, and scaled these measurements to draw the 9 1/8" Fokker D7 Axial prop for the 200 HP BMW engine |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 20-Apr-17 22:23 |  | | Views : 759 | | This took me all day to draft. Just have to cut out 8 planks, decide on grain colors and 2 coats of acrylic paint on both sides of the planks, let dry, white glue them all up, and clamp it up for a week. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 19-Apr-17 16:17 |  | | Views : 439 | | I will have to make two balsa jigs to hold a section of red and a section of black tissue glued on, then spray mist the tissue with "rubbing alcohol" (70% ethanol alcohol and 30% water) to shrink them, then several spray coats of rattle can Krylon Clear Gloss, and then cut them out to size and try to glue them onto the stab nice and tight with no wrinkles ... |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 19-Apr-17 15:57 |  | | Views : 354 | | I must then add the finished pilot, add some cockpit coambing, fix the stab damage, and fix the machine guns (senior's moment) - still trying to figure out how to cut off the butt stocks and reglue them ... |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 19-Apr-17 15:52 |  | | Views : 374 | | Since this is only a display model, I plan on enhancing the "bare" kit a bit. I can't look at the plastic prop anymore .... I must make a balsawood 9" laminated "Axial" prop, similar to the one I did in my Pfalz Dr.1 triplane http://www.virtualaerodrome.com/image_detail.html?p_aircraft_id=667&p_image_id=37467&offset= |
