| cdwheatley | 06-Sep-07 14:28 | | Looking good! |
| plasticbuddha | 06-Sep-07 16:07 | | Thanks CD!!! How goes with the SE5? Can't wait to see more pics of your meticulous build. What are you going to do for the armament (Lewis gun on an overhead rail, I think?) |
| cdwheatley | 07-Sep-07 02:40 | | The SE5a is progressing nicely thanks, more pictures to post soon I hope. I haven't thought that far ahead to be honest PB, but I would imagine the stock Lewis gun arrangement will make it onto the finished model. How is your Stearman build going? Or are you concentrating all your efforts on this model at the moment? |
| jgood | 07-Sep-07 13:27 | | Looking good, PB. |
| hjlittman | 07-Sep-07 20:25 | | Most people that I know, who make this model to fly, make a one piece wire axle that is attached to the former in front of the landing gear instead of the two short axles shown on the plans. For the one I am building this week (Sorry, I am cameraless at the moment.) I installed the axles as shown on the plans but bound them to the strut, at the top and bottom, with carbon fiber and C/A. Normally, I would have used ordinary sewing thread as a binding for the wire, but someone gave me a few feet of carbon fiber so I went high tech. |
