A Dremel "work stand", I now have a drill press on my work table. A magnifying light is SO much better! I also now have a Jones Balsa stripper...what a cool tool! And Santa brought me Bill Hannan's book "Peanut Power"...I'm stocked and stoked for the winter building!!! scirocco14 Scratch Built 1930's Racer Build 17-Sep-09 12:57 Views : 1352 Current status of Piper Cub restoration. The modeler who built it did a nice job but built it very heavy. So I'm trying to sand off all the old paint, and lighten where possible. I built new tail feathers using the solid pieces as templates and have saved over 5g just there alone. Should reduce the nose weight needed and help it fly better! scirocco14 Scratch Built 1930's Racer Build 10-Sep-09 19:09 Views : 1304 Added some letters and control outlines. This was after several very nice flights. I had to add quite a bit of lead to the nose to offset the solid tail feathers, but it still flew very well. scirocco14 Scratch Built 1930's Racer Build 08-Sep-09 15:59 Views : 1241 close up of the braces I added.

On the 2nd test flight the plane cartwheeled on landing and broke the tail off, right at the rear peg. The wood is very old and brittle and that is a weak spot in the fuse. So I repaired it with some braces. scirocco14 Scratch Built 1930's Racer Parked 07-Sep-09 19:53 Views : 1252 another shot with the bare bones wing on it. I removed the old tissue, sanded & prepped the bones and ready for covering. scirocco14 Scratch Built 1930's Racer Build 07-Sep-09 19:51 Views : 1281 side view of the trainer scirocco14 Scratch Built 1930's Racer Build 07-Sep-09 19:51 Views : 1224 here's the basic 'trainer' partially restored. I used one of the "vintage" props, painted the fuse and tailfeathers and installed a Peck Polymers thrust button and shaft. 1 loop of 3/16" FAI tan. scirocco14 Scratch Built 1930's Racer Parked 05-Sep-09 15:27 Views : 1334 Full size shot of "TEMCO 150" scirocco14 Scratch Built 1930's Racer Parked 05-Sep-09 15:26 Views : 749 "TEMCO 150" is printed on the wood Page (5 in total) :  1   2   3   4   5  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
