| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 | Build | 03-Jul-15 21:24 |  | | Views : 1263 | | The plastic housing making up the nose of the fuselage and crankcase was painted in blue, silver for the exhaust collector ring, and gray for the crankcase. The cylinder was epoxied using the 5-minute brand. Again, why wait for 30 minutes while holding it in your hand for it to set? |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 | Build | 03-Jul-15 21:21 |  | | Views : 1188 | | I used a T pin to make a hole in between the "cooling fins" for the spark plug and wiring. Then carefully pre-bent it back around the cylinder to its approximate location prior to gluing onto the crankcase. |

| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 | Build | 03-Jul-15 21:16 |  | | Views : 1137 | | For the mounting base of each cylinder, i simply cut circular rings from paper (I figured it was far easier than cutting plastic with an X-Acto knife) and used small beads to simulate the mounting lugs. If you look carefully, you can easily see that I used a small diameter copper tubing with the same sized beads for simulating spark plugs. I left the beads in their natural bright metallic finish for that added "bling" factor. |
