| hjlittman | Easy Built Heinkel 112 | Build | 29-Apr-10 14:37 |  | | Views : 789 | | The plans say to prop up the wing tip 1-1/2 inches to get the gull wing effect. Glad that I checked before I took it of the board, Whoever drew it measured up from level in the front view, It is, indeed, 1-1/2 inches from level, but to get that dihedral from board level you have to prop up the wing tip to 3-3/4 inches. |
| hjlittman | Easy Built Heinkel 112 | Build | 29-Apr-10 14:34 |  | | Views : 782 | | Easy Built wood is light, in some areas too light. The 1/16 inch square stock was too fragile for the wing spars so I used some Guillow's wood for the spar. |
| hjlittman | Easy Built Heinkel 112 | Build | 29-Apr-10 14:32 |  | | Views : 861 | | Dealing with Easybuilt kits. The wings just glue onto the side of the fuselage so I added som more gluing surface. I am also moving the rear peg forward one bay to get balancing with less ballast. More than makes up for the shorter motor. |
| hjlittman | Easy Built Heinkel 112 | Build | 29-Apr-10 14:29 |  | | Views : 1638 | | Busy building board. The Heinkel is for a contest in May, the Blacksheep Squadron "Easybuilt, Beat Your Span" contest. The timing doesn't start until your model has flown the number of seconds equal to it's wingspan in inches. |

| hjlittman | Scratch Built Curtiss P6E | Build | 09-Apr-10 14:19 |  | | Views : 1571 | | Hawk bones just tacked together with green glue and pins for a photo. A few drops of acetone will take it apart again so I can continue building it. |
| hjlittman | Scratch Built Curtiss P6E | Build | 09-Apr-10 14:17 |  | | Views : 1449 | | My Hurricane, for the "G" Challenge, is taking a back seat to the Hawk project for the time being. |

| hjlittman | Scratch Built Curtiss P6E | Build | 09-Apr-10 14:13 |  | | Views : 1409 | | It's starting to take shape. This, revised upper wing has laser cut parts, all the rest hand cut. |
| hjlittman | Scratch Built Curtiss P6E | Build | 09-Apr-10 14:11 |  | | Views : 1340 | | Finally got to the fueslage. I misplaced my small try-square that day, found it later. |
| hjlittman | Scratch Built Curtiss P6E | Build | 09-Apr-10 14:09 |  | | Views : 1372 | | Printing parts on paper and sticking them to the balsa is a lot better than back in the days of carbon paper, but this is another thing that goes a lot quicker in laser cut. |
