| Don C | Scratch Built Vultee BT-13 | Build | 06-Nov-21 20:38 |  | | Views : 822 | | Center is fairly easy. Always redrawing lines to keep a center. Hope this help[s, Ed. |

| crob | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Parked | 06-Nov-21 11:49 |  | | Views : 3913 | | I found this from Outerzone. Originally 13" wingspan, blown up to 1/16th scale to match the Precious Metal. Any tips, tricks, advice before starting on this endovor? I have a Diels Bearcat i thought about converting, but 100% sctrach would be cool too. Especially after seeing the canopy forming - i think i want to give it a shot. |

| edtherenderman | Scratch Built Bugatti 100P | Build | 05-Nov-21 22:04 |  | | Views : 902 | | Here are the pulleys with the belts, but pulled slightly out of the transmission housing. The lower drive pulley works the larger drive shaft which is the inside propeller. The upper pulley is the inside driveshaft for the outside propeller. Note the belt for the upper pulley is crossed. This creates the counter rotation. |
| edtherenderman | Scratch Built Bugatti 100P | Build | 05-Nov-21 22:01 |  | | Views : 818 | | I couldn’t let the counter-rotating transmission go! I realized that gears wouldn’t work, but what about belts! I re-designed the gears into pulleys and thought I would use rubber bands, but couldn’t find anything small enough. Then a friend at work told me he had some filament for his FDM 3D printer that was very flexible and stretchy. He let me borrow a spool and I printed out the belts. They worked okay, but didn’t grab well, so I also printed out the pulleys in the same material and it worked like a dream! |

| Don C | Scratch Built Vultee BT-13 | Build | 04-Nov-21 14:10 |  | | Views : 830 | | Had to remove most of the former ahead of the cockpit. Now it fits where it should. Have to make a canopy before putting the 2 instrument panel in. lds |

| crob | Guillows Series 400 - P-51 Mustang | Parked | 03-Nov-21 13:06 |  | | Views : 4092 | | Decals from ' DrawDecal.com '. They custom printed them, very different decal material. Water for 5 seconds and they slide off in 30. No setting solution required and they just sink right into every detail. Very impressed with them. |
