| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Parked | 28-Feb-17 15:45 |  | | Views : 4408 | | The wax paper came off easily - that is a new pilot in the jig now - the one just finished is in front leaning on a block - now a very strong and solid pilot with a flush base plate epoxied to the inside of the pilot body bottom. |

| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Parked | 28-Feb-17 15:37 |  | | Views : 5117 | | I pinned a little extra pressure on top of the pilot head to hold everything in place while the glue dried. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Parked | 28-Feb-17 15:35 |  | | Views : 4465 | | I brushed on 5 min Epoxy glue onto the bottom inside edges of the plastic pilot, and them stuck him onto and over the edges of the balsa base plank, the pilot bottom being flush with the three jig plank flat surface. |

| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Parked | 28-Feb-17 15:28 |  | | Views : 4753 | | The jig plank holding the pinned pilot base and wax paper, is pinned into the space on the jig between the two other planks, and now the base plate will not move. The three jig planks form a flat plane for the bottom edge of the pilot to sit on. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Parked | 28-Feb-17 15:22 |  | | Views : 4763 | | This is the side the pilot will sit on - the pin tips just stick out a little bit into the free space of the pilot body. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Parked | 28-Feb-17 15:20 |  | | Views : 4910 | | JIG SET UP for glueing a balsa pilot base plate, to the inside of a plastic pilot - I pinned the jig plank, wax paper, then the balsa pilot base plate together, pinning in from the jig plank side, at small angles, to hold the pilot base plate securely to the jig plank, while the glue dries. |
