| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows 1903 Wright Flyer | Build | 26-Jun-15 22:47 |  | | Views : 1538 | | Just prior to gluing the cylinders I wrapped each with a thin slice of silkspan to give them a textured look. Also took a small 10mm (I think) dia, wire for the oil line. And used a couple of small slices of tape for the connection at the oil line as shown on the real engine. |
