| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 26-Apr-17 11:24 |  | | Views : 887 | | After I broke the rubber on the Cabinaire from too many winds, I just put the plane on the shelf and went to bed. I snapped awake in the middle of the night, with the sudden realization, that that bunched up tightly wound knot of rubber in the back of the fuse, could explode at any time, and take out my other models on the shelf ! I got up and started to cut it out, and it was striking out and snapping at me and the plane, like an angry, coiled up, DIAMOND BACK RATTLESNAKE !! - trying to do more damage right to the very end ... I have 4 fuse tissue panels to replace. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Scratch Built Curtiss Pusher | Parked | 26-Apr-17 10:36 |  | | Views : 5507 | | This is my Ailerons diagram - your diagram showed me that I have to reverse the double elevator control wires on my diagram, to coincide with forward/backward movement of the control stick column/wheel , that push pulls the foreplane rod connected to the foreplane fin on the single foreplane wing - so that elevators and foreplane work synchronously. |

| LASTWOODSMAN | Scratch Built Curtiss Pusher | Parked | 26-Apr-17 10:29 |  | | Views : 3870 | | BPGuy - this is my hand drafted diagram of Rudder/Elevator for my model - there is no spinning steering wheel for rudder control, it has aileron and elevator control drive arms (not small horns), "Guide Tubes" and a single pivoting rudder (no fin) with a rudder "Tiller" |
| David Duckett | Dumas Kit #503, Boeing AV 8B Harrier | Reference | 26-Apr-17 09:36 |  | | Views : 4940 | | This Dumas kit, also from 2010, shows that Dumas has used the blue film on clear plastic parts for years.. I do not remember ever seeing clear parts except for canopies. |
