| Jastafuhrer 13 | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Build | 29-Jan-14 13:44 |  | | Views : 1762 | | Test fitting the wing I ran into a problem. Former #3, which is the dash, hangs down into the hole and wetting ribs bump into it. Called Dumas and they admitted it was obviously a problem but they had never realized it before. Former#2 is flat on the bottom and forward of the leading edge. You could switch the two formers and probably be okay. Palerunner must have did this in his build because you can see they appear both ways in various build photos. I'll flatten it off and but another dash veneer on after the wing is in. I also asked Dumas about the lack of decalage in the stabilizer... Wing and stab are dead parallel. He said he'd add a degree of negative to the stab. I wonder if active there has actually built or flown this model. |
| Jastafuhrer 13 | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Build | 29-Jan-14 13:33 |  | | Views : 1691 | | Downsized the rigging attachment blocks to 1/16 instead of 1/8. Beveled the top edges to hide under the tissue without lumps. Filed the holes as a groove on the side of the blocks before gluing. Drilled with #80 bit after. |

Also wrapped and soldered the landing gear. My old boy scout lashings came in handy. Tried to work out a pattern do the solder would make the joints look like forgings. |

| John M Oshust | ManzanoLaser Ansaldo A.1 Balilla | Build | 28-Jan-14 13:18 |  | | Views : 690 | | After viewing the framing work by DD utilizing 1/16 stringers, I had an epiphany. Realizing that I have accumulated quite a bit of this dimensional balsa, I was able to plank half of Nunzio’s nose. |
| John M Oshust | ManzanoLaser Ansaldo A.1 Balilla | Build | 28-Jan-14 13:17 |  | | Views : 700 | | I hope to complete the planking tomorrow. After sanding, filling, and sanding again, the nose will be covered with aluminum. |
