| Don C | Scratch Built Vultee BT-13 | Build | 06-Feb-21 14:00 |  | | Views : 329 | | Spent the last couple of days getting the cowl together. |
| Don C | Scratch Built Vultee BT-13 | Build | 29-Jan-21 11:08 |  | | Views : 364 | | And done. A couple of applications of spackle and then grey auto filler/primer. after each coat sanded with 320 until wood starts to show through and then another coat. Took about 4 coats to get rid of imperfections. |

| Don C | Scratch Built Vultee BT-13 | Build | 23-Jan-21 19:17 |  | | Views : 405 | | Productive day, but a sore back. Wings infilled. The 2 open slots are where the landing gear are mounted. Question for everyone: My LHS closed a couple of years ago. Have to order suplies on line. The balsa I have received is very hard . Any ideas where to get good balsa? |
| Don C | Scratch Built Vultee BT-13 | Build | 22-Jan-21 18:08 |  | | Views : 400 | | Finally had a fair amount of time. Stringers on, diagonals removed and infill started.. Looks like it's going to work fine. |

| Don C | Scratch Built Vultee BT-13 | Build | 21-Jan-21 16:13 |  | | Views : 367 | | Basic fuselage pretty well done. Wings under way. $ ribs and a 1/8 inch leading edge are pretty light, so I sutci in the diagonals for a bit more strength. Starting to apply stringers. Scratched a center rib for each wing and glued it at an angle |

| Don C | Scratch Built Vultee BT-13 | Build | 07-Jan-21 14:52 |  | | Views : 379 | | Some progress, albeit slow. Too many other irons in the fire. |
| Don C | Scratch Built Vultee BT-13 | Parked | 30-Dec-20 12:46 |  | | Views : 513 | | Bottom is original plan, top is from a 3 way I found and Poppy's .Bth shape and airfoil are quite different. |
| Don C | Scratch Built Vultee BT-13 | Reference | 24-Dec-20 15:34 |  | | Views : 536 | | Merry Christmas to all and thanks to those who keep us safe. |
| Don C | Scratch Built Vultee BT-13 | Build | 24-Dec-20 13:19 |  | | Views : 533 | | This is a pretty simple plan. As I started, I realized that they did not plan for a motor,. So the first former is being left out so the motor will fit. Then a cowling needs to be built. Going to be a lot of innovating. |
