| pfinn | Scratch Built Holiday | Build | 24-Nov-19 13:03 |  | | Views : 1316 | | 1/64" ply laminate on the outside for reinforcement (I need room inside for the "Monkey Motion Unit". To "Lighten" up the look of the Fuselage I believe I will combine the sheeted/solid lower half of the fuselage with a upper "Former and Longeron" upper half. The Orange tape line delineates the separation line. I sculpted the shape I want in the solid-ish wood to get a good idea of what I want. The Vertical fin will be built in during the assembly. Still big questions on that though! I won't bore you with that...for now. Ha Ha Ha! |
| pfinn | Scratch Built Holiday | Build | 24-Nov-19 12:53 |  | | Views : 1309 | | The mid section of the Fuselage needs to be "Flat-Topped" because of the control pins that move through a slot in the side of the Fuselage (not there yet). |

| pfinn | Scratch Built Holiday | Build | 24-Nov-19 12:50 |  | | Views : 1298 | | Shaped out the fuselage. Looks to "Chunky" in comparison to the...uhhh...delicate...airy(?). wings. |
| pfinn | Scratch Built Holiday | Build | 24-Nov-19 12:47 |  | | Views : 1279 | | Beginning the Fuselage. Got out the old stuff to get some straight lines. Picked up all these Carpenter/Cabinet planes on ebay.de for around $100. Shipped! All the blades and wedges are there. Just a bit of TLC. And some serious re-grind on a couple. It's all good though. I've been acquiring and restoring many vintage hand tools over the past few years to use. nothing like "Hands-on" ! |
| mlriley540 | Peck Polymers A6M Zero | Flying | 23-Nov-19 14:18 |  | | Views : 502 | | There is a trim tab on the right wing but it is hiding due to the camera angle. |
| mlriley540 | Peck Polymers A6M Zero | Flying | 23-Nov-19 14:17 |  | | Views : 466 | | Took advantage of the sun and managed to get a single sort of OK picture. The plane doesn't fly well but I launched it with a side wind which allowed it to slowly roll into the wind. That actually worked fairly well. Rubber broke early but otherwise just a little damage to the nose assembly which I will fix. |
