The red edge, applied with a sharpy, is a warning stripe to let me know if I have gone to far. I roughed the shape out with my drum sander then used a fairing board to refine the ribs. The notches were roughed out with a razor saw then refined with a small bastard file. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 18-Jan-16 23:04 Views : 477 About 1/3 of teh rib blanks in waiting. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 18-Jan-16 23:03 Views : 467 With about 80 full size ribs to cut out of 1/16" sheet, Imade a jig out of 1/8" lite-ply to insure consistent results. There are two 6-32 stove-bolts to clamp the rib blanks between the patterns. The thingy to the left is a piece of 1/8" O.D. brass tube with the inside sharpened with a countersink which should make some nice holes in the rib blanks using the pattern jig in front. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 17-Jan-16 14:13 Views : 566 Assenblage of parts waiting to be doped and tissue applied. IT was (-)22 deg. F. overnight and is going to get up to (-) 8 deg. today: the dopeing can wait. Besides I have to get ready to watch the Steelers wump the Broncos. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 17-Jan-16 14:11 Views : 518 One of two wingfloats. 3 coats of nitrate dope. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 14-Jan-16 14:08 Views : 510 Wet forming the turtle-deck out of 1/16 balsa. I'm trying to keep going without having to tackle the L/G. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 14-Jan-16 14:06 Views : 493 Stabeliser ready to cover. Bulit it one piece to sumplify getting the "ribs" all going in the same direction. Went through a bit of angst yesterday when my plans didn't correlate to the William Nye drawing I was using to fine tune the construction. IT turns out that I was having a brain fart trying to get things to the scale. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Reference 14-Jan-16 11:10 Views : 579 Another one for DD. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Reference 14-Jan-16 11:09 Views : 567 For DD. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 08-Jan-16 18:06 Views : 470 Boat-tail and strakes on the hull bottom. Still need to apply the sheer-strakes, then on to the L/G (Ugh). Be back next week. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 08-Jan-16 18:04 Views : 431 FAired, sanded, doped, covered with silkspan and doped again. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 06-Jan-16 15:34 Views : 495 A look at the Port side of the float with some planking left to do yet. I've been using Cyno exclusivel on this assembly just to speed the build time up. Page (14 in total) :  <<   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
