Solid PT-13 from an old kit. Ted's comments: I have been silver soldering the birdcage for the PT-13 and have both sides almost completed. I need to trial fit the birdcage into the fuselage. I had the plans enlarged from a 8 x 11 magazine article to 30". There is 1/4" error factor as the enlarged plans have a line width of 1/8 inch. Happens all the time and a little fudging may actually turn out to be correct. I ran out of .010 x .040 evergreen strips for the Ryan. I'll get some at the hobby shop this afternoon to finish the Ryan. I have learned quite a bit about the process. Tom, at Micro West was the one who showed me how he did it, but I have never tried to do it until now. I need to remove about 7 strips from the underside of one wing to make a correction. For the PT-13 I will cut my own strips out of .030 stock that I have around. I need a whole bunch and the hobby shop will too expensive and probably not have enough to do the job. |

It was sheared in half by a falling door and trashed. |

The next several photos are not mine, but frwyflyer's. I met Ted through eBay. We bid on several of the same models. He contacted me and we've become friends. Here is a solid version on the Guillows PT-17. Ted will fill in further info. |
