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

Still have to install all the linkages and electronics. rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 25-Apr-18 23:02 Views : 581 Having "survived" 42 days of radiation treatments, I'm hopefully back up to speed. Silver Monkote, which has been sanded with either 360 grit W&D or 800 grit W&D has been applied with the "grain" running in differnent directions to try to simulate dissimilar panels. Takes a little time to cut out all of the panels. rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 06-Apr-18 11:27 Views : 610 All of the pieces are finally together. Used a canopy off of a Guillows T-bolt. Haven't decided on the scheme yet. One of the other RCr's wants me to put MonoKote on it. Never done that before. Hmmm. rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 28-Mar-18 16:46 Views : 607 Fill in the blank: _ _ _ _ _ _!!!!! rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 19-Mar-18 10:33 Views : 639 Don; One more rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 19-Mar-18 10:32 Views : 542 Don; Another shot Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 19-Mar-18 10:30 Views : 340 Don: A-26 Cowling details rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 15-Mar-18 14:50 Views : 294 This is how I terminated the ends of the planks that met on the centerline. When attaching the planks, I applied a bead of thinned titebond glue to one mating edge with a small paintbrush the placed a dab of medium viscosity CA to each former and squeezed the planks tight and pinned them. The medium viscosity CA (gap-filling) gives you enough time to lay the plank on and pin it. If you don't dawdle :-) rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 15-Mar-18 14:41 Views : 299 The bevels are switched on alternating strips. I made some planks that were over 20 inches long for the P-47. rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 15-Mar-18 14:39 Views : 294 Here is the angle achieved for the planking. BTW, depending on how big of radius the former has, you can strip the balsa up to 3/8" wide. The piece shown is about 3/16" wide. rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 15-Mar-18 14:36 Views : 270 Gives you a cutting angle like such. rayl Scratch Built Grumman J2F Duck Reference 15-Mar-18 14:32 Views : 299 Anyway: Hot-glues a piece of 1/8" X 1/4" to the base of the balsa stripper.
