| edtherenderman | Guillows Series 200 - Rumpler C5 | Build | 19-Jul-21 13:51 |  | | Views : 338 | | Starboard side of fuse. Front 1/3, and the turtle deck are infilled. For the turtle deck, I used my old method of sand, fill, cover is tissue and dope. The filled, sanded, then put EZ-Dope right on the wood. Wet sanded that, then used auto sanding primer. Wet sanding that and got a really nice finish. |

The pilot’s seat is right on top of the tank. Makes you really appreciate how brave these young men were to get into an airplane made of wood and canvas, which really wouldn’t stop a bullet, then sit on top of a fuel take full of gasoline, and no parachute! |

| edtherenderman | Guillows Series 200 - Rumpler C5 | Build | 19-Jul-21 13:44 |  | | Views : 423 | | Been working slowly on the Rumpler. Summer is hard with all the outside activity and nice weather, but making progress. Here is a picture of almost all the 3D printed parts painted along with the fuse with completed infill and silk span. I got a new 3D printer a few months ago and am trying out some new filament called PolySmooth that you can smooth with Isopropyl Alcohol. Easier to print then ABS and don’t have to inhale Acetone for hours. The front combing, engine cowling and nose are done it that material. So far, so good. |
