| jgood | Guillows Series 600 - Javelin | Flying | 16-Feb-15 19:43 |  | | Views : 2643 | | The Javelin does some circuits of Pioneer park in Nevada City, CA. Got it stuck in a tree once, but was able to get it down with no damage. Nothing great in times, maybe a 10 second flight. Looking forwards to the next attempt. |

| John M Oshust | ManzanoLaser Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.12a | Build | 16-Feb-15 18:59 |  | | Views : 884 | | An error in air foil, AKA wing, construction caused a delay in Lewis gun fabrication. I cannot blame Gumby for the construction mistake. I solely take the blame for the plan misinterpretation and framing error. However, all is okee do kee now. The airfoils, or the parts or surfaces, such as a wings, propeller blades, or rudders, that interacts with a flow of air to provide stability, rotation, lift, or thrust seem to match. |

| rayl | Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A | Build | 16-Feb-15 16:20 |  | | Views : 1141 | | Here's the whole bunch, ready for painting and installation. BTW; I bought some Testors brush-on acrylic "aluminum", don't bother. I'll be airbrushing them with good old solvent based paint. The nose gear jig will alos serve as it's mounting base when installed in the gear well. And I still need tomount the retraction cylinder on the nose gear llinkage (I forgot to do that until I looked at the image just now). Oh Well. |

| Don C | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Plan #59, Curtiss C-46 Commando | Build | 16-Feb-15 15:04 |  | | Views : 881 | | All that and they hardly show! There's a lot more room in the real thing. Know they retract forward, but I just don't see how they made them fit. |
| Don C | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Plan #59, Curtiss C-46 Commando | Build | 16-Feb-15 14:59 |  | | Views : 871 | | Finally found some good reference photos and this is my streamlined version of a pretty complicated gear system. If you don't know aboutit, look at www.cybermodeler.com. |
