hjlittman | 11-Jul-18 23:14 | There is a local FAC contest (Squadron 69) this Sunday for WWI (Mass Launch), Embryo, and Half Wakefield. I have my own Embryo, and have no plans to build a Half Wakefield, but thought I had a qualifying WWI model. (Let me rephrase that comment about the Half Wakefield. I have several plans for them I just don't plan to build one.) Anyway, I found that my ancient WWI model was in no condition to be restored, let alone fly, so I decided to build a new one for the contest. I had a #202, SE5A, kit on the shelf so I decided to build that "box stock" (Will have removable nose block, more aggressive prop, reinforced landing gear, F.A.I. Tan rubber, and colored tissue but other than that stock.) for the contest. It's not the most competitive choice, they fly much better than one might think and, I've seen them do quite well in competition. I started it about a half hour before I had to leave to pick up my wife this evening. I was using a right angle tool left over from another kit for alignment, odorless CA glue, and kicker. The photo shows how far I got. |
