John Cooper | Scratch Built Albatros D.II | Parked | 07-Oct-09 20:16 | | Views : 1268 | This is not really an Albatros DII, but the floatplane derivative of this type, the Albatros W.IV |
John Cooper | Guillows Series 900 - Trojan | Parked | 14-Sep-09 22:38 | | Views : 1835 | Completed and weighing 14.0g without rubber. I had to make a balsa prop, because the platic one I was going to use made the plane too nose heavy. The plane is trimming really well, like the other 900 series kits I have built. It was quite easy to get it to circle a large gym twice for abouit a 25 sec flight. |
John Cooper | Scratch Built Noorduyn Norseman | Aerial | 05-Sep-09 15:07 | | Views : 1494 | A picture taken, from the Norseman, of the large pond on my cottage property (near Ottawa, Canada). The photo is from fall, 2008. |
John Cooper | Scratch Built Noorduyn Norseman | Flying | 05-Sep-09 15:05 | | Views : 1732 | The Norseman taxis back to shore after a photo mission. The photo pod can be seen between the landing gear. |
John Cooper | Scratch Built Noorduyn Norseman | Build | 05-Sep-09 15:02 | | Views : 1795 | I thought my Norseman would feel more home on floats. The floats are balsa sheeted and were later covered with Aerokote Lite. |
John Cooper | Guillows Series 900 - Trojan | Build | 03-Sep-09 20:01 | | Views : 1331 | Because this is a low wing plane, I added quite a bit of washout (starboard) and washin (port). This keeps it from wanting to spiral in a tight turn. |
