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

I was able to use some of my old Spoke shaves for the fuselage decapitating!e pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 01-Dec-19 13:10 Views : 1305 Removed the upper section of the fuselage that will be replaced by formers and stringers. Forward of the trailing edge will be a hatch. pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 24-Nov-19 13:04 Views : 1315 Still semi-rough on the parting line. pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 24-Nov-19 13:03 Views : 1276 1/64" ply laminate on the outside for reinforcement (I need room inside for the "Monkey Motion Unit". To "Lighten" up the look of the Fuselage I believe I will combine the sheeted/solid lower half of the fuselage with a upper "Former and Longeron" upper half. The Orange tape line delineates the separation line. I sculpted the shape I want in the solid-ish wood to get a good idea of what I want. The Vertical fin will be built in during the assembly. Still big questions on that though! I won't bore you with that...for now. Ha Ha Ha! pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 24-Nov-19 12:53 Views : 1269 The mid section of the Fuselage needs to be "Flat-Topped" because of the control pins that move through a slot in the side of the Fuselage (not there yet). pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 24-Nov-19 12:50 Views : 1256 Shaped out the fuselage. Looks to "Chunky" in comparison to the...uhhh...delicate...airy(?). wings. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 24-Nov-19 12:47 Views : 1236 Beginning the Fuselage. Got out the old stuff to get some straight lines. Picked up all these Carpenter/Cabinet planes on ebay.de for around $100. Shipped! All the blades and wedges are there. Just a bit of TLC. And some serious re-grind on a couple. It's all good though. I've been acquiring and restoring many vintage hand tools over the past few years to use. nothing like "Hands-on" ! pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Reference 11-Nov-19 17:00 Views : 1275 Learning to fly...HaHa...Funny...During my hiatus I jumped into the art of the Sythe. I made the "Snathe" (handle) out af laminated spruce. I mowed my Fathers lawn with it for a year and a half....before I jumped into my new life. Built that Cabin too. pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 07-Nov-19 13:01 Views : 1254 Trimmed down. I'm also adding Carbon Fiber cap strips (1/16 x .008") to the diagonal ribs to stiffen up the VERY thin airfoil. Flutter is NOT good!! pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 07-Nov-19 05:21 Views : 1229 All up weight is now at 5 oz. including receiver and battery. Yay. Now the fuselage. pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 07-Nov-19 05:18 Views : 305 The large Carbon tube is left long for now. This unit will be something like a cartridge that will be removable from the fuselage...well...because the servos are mounted inverted. A hatch on the bottom for access isn't really a good idea with no landing gear!! pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 07-Nov-19 05:09 Views : 256 The larger tube I made from "Carbon Sleeve" fabric molded around a 5mm rod. The little spring just pushes the Bellcranks out into position. Titanium spring (I just happened to have some, so what the heck ;o ).
