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

Are you going to fly this? NiteSeer, Comment for image # 18076 25 May 10 04:14 Guillow's kit 403 NiteSeer, Comment for image # 18077 25 May 10 04:13 This is Guillow's kit 403 NiteSeer, Image # 18077 25 May 10 04:11 I replaced the stringers for some sig stringers. The guillow stringers were too heavy. The fuselage is light because I also poked some holes in the formers.

So, I decided to build its bigger brother, the series 403. Unlike its little brother (an almost laser like kit), the quality of the die cutting was not up to snuff. Therefore, I tacked the formers together to do whatever needed to be done to insure sameness. NiteSeer, Comment for image # 17941 17 May 10 12:31 Thank you. I am using a Paasche Airbrush. The color is Tamiya Flat Earth with .50 thinner. JohnG., Comment for image # 17941 17 May 10 04:38 Excellent work. Saw your photos on the Guillows site as well. Are you airbrushing???

I tried to adhere to the pattern suggested by Guillow but if only pigs could fly. I used Foto/Frisket Film to help me with my patterns. NiteSeer, Image # 17874 09 May 10 03:37 NiteSeer, Image # 17799 02 May 10 03:58 Adding a 3 bladed prop as per Guillow"s plan. NiteSeer, Image # 17640 21 Apr 10 04:49 Sand and sand-then dope NiteSeer, Image # 17616 19 Apr 10 04:12 NiteSeer, Image # 17615 19 Apr 10 04:11 The wing feels like a heavy possicle stick, so I reduced the weight by drilling holes with my drill press. I placed a block of wood underneath. This eliminates tearout. NiteSeer, Comment for image # 17570 18 Apr 10 04:17 appropriated=appropriate throught=force. Sorry about the mistakes. I am new to this site. NiteSeer, Image # 17570 18 Apr 10 04:08 The fuselage is completed. The side keels have a lot of spring and if cemented as is, they would throught the fuselage out of alignment. So I crack them at an appropriated spot and reglue them when I cement the keel sides to the fuselage. I do that that to stringers, too or sometimes I soak them in water.
