| simpleflyer | Comet Stinson 108 | Flying | 02-Oct-10 18:59 |  | | Views : 878 | | Test flight on the swing line went well. |
| simpleflyer | Comet Stinson 108 | Build | 02-Oct-10 18:58 |  | | Views : 848 | | A couple of coats of thinned white glue were applied. Some lead shot inserted into the nose. Swing line attached to wing. And we are ready to fly. Slightly breezy today. Test glides with balance weight but no string were OK, but not as good as the Cloud Buster. |

| simpleflyer | Comet Stinson 108 | Build | 01-Oct-10 21:29 |  | | Views : 815 | | Ready for wing cover. The remaining structure is complete except for balance weight. |
| simpleflyer | Comet Stinson 108 | Build | 01-Oct-10 21:22 |  | | Views : 787 | | Wings completed and ready for joining and forming the dihedral. The center section is the sliding wing joint which allows the wing to be removeable. |
| simpleflyer | Comet Stinson 108 | Build | 28-Sep-10 21:44 |  | | Views : 768 | | Patterns cut out. Fuselage and tail sheetwood kitted. Wing plan drawn. |
| simpleflyer | Comet Stinson 108 | Build | 26-Sep-10 22:57 |  | | Views : 862 | | We came upon this 3-vu of the Yak 15 that all but jumped off the page asking to be built as a profile 'swinger'. So we scaled it up to a 14 inch wingspan and copied it to a piece of manila card stock. Did some figuring on the cardstock to find out how much to enlarge the horizontal tail and drew in some lines for alignment and placement of the flying surfaces and a few other tweaks. Next is to cut out the patterns and trace them and begin cutting balsa. |
