Sorry about the confusion on classifying the aircraft. Still new at this posting. I purchased small springs from arts and crafts store and cut small sections of copper wire for each cylinder.

This is one of many photos I managed to obtain that left the engine in its natural metallic finish as opposed to painted black. I opted to take this route to show the detailing.

Rather than simply marking the cooling holes, I decided to allow my OCD (just a small part, mind you) run a bit wild and used a pine vise to drill out the holes.

Using tubular plastic purchased at a local hobby store (only 35 miles from where I live) to cut up the cylinders for the engine. All sizes were from careful use of the retinae supplemented with glass protection (eyeballs), resulted in pretty close tolerances..

Where was I? Oh yeah. Building the Wright Bros' engine. Here to make the flat plate on top of the engine. Used a T pin to push out the rivets on the other side.

Love the wings, easy to build and plenty of area to carry the RC gear

Guillows Albatros D5A. Most of the kit wood was impossible to work with, all the formes etc were outlined on new balsa and cut. Elevator added for Rc.

Guillows Albatros D5A. Images are a bit dark, i built most of this one while in my boat, and tle light are not suited for building. I had the responsebillity for getting the first Starbucks coffe shop in Stavanger done, and figured if i took my boat to Stavanger id be ready to go to work at any time. And of course this meant building a kit in the spare time :)

The Wright Bros. had the rigging interconnected such that the wing warping rigging from the pilot's cradle to the wings were also directed to a couple of bellcranks that connected to the rudder.

With the legs having the added depth and bottom tie down supports, the Wright engine is starting to really take shape
