| John M Oshust | AerodromeRC Pfalz Dr I | Parked | 28-Feb-09 19:05 |  | | Views : 638 | | Everthing is dry fitted. The only major construction left are the fillets. Once done the best part...final finishing. |
| John M Oshust | AerodromeRC Pfalz Dr I | Build | 28-Feb-09 15:05 |  | | Views : 570 | | Klaus II hangs for display. To fit the wings I assembled, disassembled, and sanded the mount nine times until everthing fit into place. |
| John M Oshust | AerodromeRC Pfalz Dr I | Build | 28-Feb-09 15:01 |  | | Views : 598 | | The wings here are dry fit. When all torsion forces are correct, all wings are "happy!" The fabric covering on the upper surface lays flat with out wrinkling. |
| John M Oshust | AerodromeRC Pfalz Dr I | Build | 28-Feb-09 14:58 |  | | Views : 671 | | If I am nery quiet I can hear the epoxy molecules form and harden as they permanently bond the lower wing to the fuse. This time aroung my multiple errors from Klaus I are gone. The fit of the wings falls into place. My measuring stick tells me that they are true. The correct fit makes the eveil wing fillet a much easier task, either for today or tomorrow! |
| John M Oshust | AerodromeRC Pfalz Dr I | Build | 28-Feb-09 13:09 |  | | Views : 685 | | A poppy like smooth fuse. It is going to get the lower wing permanently mounted today....I hope! |
| John M Oshust | AerodromeRC Pfalz Dr I | Build | 26-Feb-09 18:52 |  | | Views : 687 | | A dry fitting to see if everything works....thus far OH KEE DO KEE! |

| John M Oshust | AerodromeRC Pfalz Dr I | Build | 26-Feb-09 18:50 |  | | Views : 691 | | I plan on sheeting the remainder of the fuse tomorrow, then address the design and fabrication of the lower wing fillet.....better wear my hat! |
| John M Oshust | AerodromeRC Pfalz Dr I | Build | 26-Feb-09 14:41 |  | | Views : 639 | | The wings are complete. The middle wing has been sealed. Makes the poly-span transparent. |
| John M Oshust | AerodromeRC Pfalz Dr I | Build | 26-Feb-09 14:39 |  | | Views : 612 | | Atrimmed wing in a half hour. Poly-span ranks up there on my WOODY list. Matches fire arms, antique tractors, gardening, and thong panties! |
| John M Oshust | AerodromeRC Pfalz Dr I | Build | 26-Feb-09 14:36 |  | | Views : 699 | | Just when I thought I knew everything that cases me to get a "WOODY!", along comes poly-span. The upper wing covered in one piece! |
| John M Oshust | AerodromeRC Pfalz Dr I | Build | 26-Feb-09 12:10 |  | | Views : 649 | | The middle wing is covered. Now that I have learned how to use this covering, on the the upper and largest wing. |
| John M Oshust | AerodromeRC Pfalz Dr I | Build | 26-Feb-09 12:06 |  | | Views : 743 | | Me thinks the results speak for themselve. If you follow the natural curl of the poly-span the dull, fuzzy side, will always be down. |
