Soon after building the engine last week I became very ill. My friends that say I have sh-t for brains now can call me a moron! Sheeting of fuse completed!! John M Oshust Scratch Built Polikarpov I-16 Rata Build 01-Mar-08 19:29 Views : 623 All "Fluff", no "Stuff" half an engine no wires and pipes. Made progress sheeting 4 more sections. I got side tracked with the engine idea...now I am off schedule! John M Oshust Scratch Built Polikarpov I-16 Rata Build 01-Mar-08 19:21 Views : 629 I realized that between planes I MUST build a model radial. A model this size is a joy to work with...pipes wires etc. John M Oshust Scratch Built Polikarpov I-16 Rata Build 01-Mar-08 19:19 Views : 690 The 13 in. flight prop needs to be shaped but I think this will work well....remember the Rat cowl has a ventilator front. John M Oshust Scratch Built Polikarpov I-16 Rata Build 01-Mar-08 19:17 Views : 623 KISS keep it simlpe stupid! Noe pipes or wires but I think it will fill the bill! John M Oshust Scratch Built Polikarpov I-16 Rata Build 01-Mar-08 15:22 Views : 648 Small dowels for lifter tubes and at least the Rat has a power plant. Working on a 6.5 in. radial is relatively easy compared to the others I have built.

John M Oshust Scratch Built Polikarpov I-16 Rata Build 01-Mar-08 15:17 Views : 648 Though the radial is only thru vent ports on the cowl front, the magic box has yielded a rpresentation that will look OK if someone peers into the cowling. John M Oshust Scratch Built Polikarpov I-16 Rata Build 29-Feb-08 22:22 Views : 702 The fuse should be sheeted completely tomorrow, then we have to think about the cowl....Wood or Al??? John M Oshust Scratch Built Polikarpov I-16 Rata Build 29-Feb-08 22:21 Views : 616 I went down to the shop to check on the glue and Gumby removed all of the pins and took her up for a test...makes tomoroww's work easier! John M Oshust Scratch Built Polikarpov I-16 Rata Build 29-Feb-08 19:41 Views : 646 It is amazing how he morphs his hands and pushes in those pins, we ran out of pins...enough for today...always tomorrow! John M Oshust Scratch Built Polikarpov I-16 Rata Build 29-Feb-08 17:53 Views : 658 Work on the porcupine proceeds. Gumby is amazing, very skilled at sheeting. Working with wood again sure beats corrugated styrene! Page (22 in total) :  <<   13   14   15   16   17   18   19   20   21   22  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
