| SteveM | Peck Polymers One Nite 28 | Build | 28-Feb-08 00:12 |  | | Views : 912 | | I decided to go ahead and add this one to my hanger after all. Don Ross shows how to build it for rubber powered FF (with some modifications), then converts it to electric FF, then to one channel RC flight. |
| SteveM | Dumas Kit #213, F4U Corsair | Build | 27-Feb-08 04:53 |  | | Views : 1143 | | The hole in the cowl for the thrust bearing has been filled in to provide a tight fit. I am also going to scrap the idea of a portable power unit and just glue this one in place (loosly installed motor = bad vibrations). |
| SteveM | Dumas Kit #213, F4U Corsair | Build | 27-Feb-08 04:49 |  | | Views : 1111 | | The F-15 canopy cleared up nicely with Furture. Two more test pieces but using some spare F-15 tail feathers. |
| SteveM | Dumas Kit #213, F4U Corsair | Build | 26-Feb-08 13:35 |  | | Views : 1369 | | Still having issues with the kit tissue. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 2000 - B-29 Super Fortress | Build | 25-Feb-08 23:46 |  | | Views : 1785 | | Some how I managed to sneak this past the collectors. Some day I'll break the plastic seal, but not today. |
| SteveM | Dumas Kit #213, F4U Corsair | Build | 24-Feb-08 04:48 |  | | Views : 1064 | | Rudder covered using the glue stick method (not yet shrunk with water). No fumes and no mess. |

| SteveM | Guillows Series 1400 - F-15 Eagle | Build | 24-Feb-08 00:02 |  | | Views : 2476 | | Sidewinders and Sparrows at last! About all that remains are the decals. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 500 - BF 109 | Flying | 23-Feb-08 16:43 |  | | Views : 2176 | | The wing apears to have gone askew, resulting in straight flight rather than a circle. At this point I put away the camare and began chasing it. But about 150' away a tree kindly caught it for me. I broke the wing getting it down - back to the hanger. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 500 - BF 109 | Flying | 23-Feb-08 16:40 |  | | Views : 1993 | | Here the plane has leveled out and has swept about 180° from where I launched it. By this point I was ginning ear to ear and starting to laugh like a kid. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 500 - BF 109 | Flying | 23-Feb-08 16:37 |  | | Views : 2039 | | Initial unpowered glides were like the BF-109, short and steep. Moving the wing forward and removing 1.5g of nose weight moved the CG back, fixing the problem. Here we see it as it begins to climb and turn into a 40' circle around me. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 500 - BF 109 | Parked | 23-Feb-08 16:33 |  | | Views : 2034 | | Sunny, 50F, and 0-1 MPH NE winds, so I went to the park. This is my universal adapter for winding up the plane - the Canary from "Rubber Power" by Don Ross. |
| SteveM | Scratch Built Albatros D.V | Parked | 22-Feb-08 04:27 |  | | Views : 2237 | | The Albatros gets new decals and the windshield that the boys have been asking for. |
