| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 28-Jul-07 19:35 |  | | Views : 648 | | We ar happy woth the way the fuselage becomes part of the rudder. Like poppy says....."when things work well, just sit back and admire it a bit!" With me I will probably drop the Mig tomorrow and destroy all this work! |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 28-Jul-07 19:31 |  | | Views : 599 | | While the final shape may change a tad, this shape closly matches the original Mig elevators.... we can live with it! |

| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 27-Jul-07 21:07 |  | | Views : 612 | | The shape of the stabilizers in the Stahl flying model plan is not close enough to the real Mig. The pencil lines indicated where I will amputate, fill and shape the leading edges. The fillets between the fuse and stabilizers are also temps for a look s |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 27-Jul-07 21:04 |  | | Views : 647 | | The tail assembly was taped together for a look see. The tail of the submarine was amputated from the fuselage and attached to the rudder as per the real Mig |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 26-Jul-07 23:45 |  | | Views : 642 | | The workers worked a bit of overtime to get the tail completed today. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 26-Jul-07 17:29 |  | | Views : 658 | | I love biluding with bass wood. The "boys" install the right horizontal stabalizer. For my none flying planes I think bass wood's strength and close grain will finish easier and better than balsa. |
| John M Oshust | Scratch Built MiG3 | Build | 25-Jul-07 22:09 |  | | Views : 656 | | The vert stab still needs some shaping but at least they installed it. The "wuffy" says that now the Mig looks like a whale! |
