Happy landings in the New Year. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Reference 28-Aug-15 20:00 Views : 633 Hey y'all, I'm back. Short tale of woe: I cut out all of teh ribs and wing parts for the Loening last week, the found that I had used the 1/16 scale set of plans instead of the 1/12 scale. Disgusted is putting it mildly. While recovering from that Faux Pau, I decided to utilize my new minuature Lathe to whip ot a Boeing Delta II Launch Vehicle that carried teh Mars Rover "Spirit" to the Red Planet. So with James (and the general populace's approval) I will turn my corner of the site into the "Virtual Aero(space) Drome" for a while. [James if you could add "Delta II No. 298" to the scratchbuilt cagegory? rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 21-Jun-15 16:11 Views : 666 Whatdaya think? Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 21-Jun-15 16:11 Views : 669 This about where they will be when I get them mounted on the L/G, which will be wole other story. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 21-Jun-15 16:09 Views : 556 Tire material: before and after. This a piece of vacuum hose from teh atuomotive store. You can also use foam filler rod. I cut the tubing just a LITTLE shorter than the teh circumference of the rim and used gell superglue and held it together for a minute until the CA set-up. I snaded the whole tire down with 100 grit papaer then use my Dremel tool with a coarse scotch-brite wheel to buff it all to the same appearance. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 21-Jun-15 16:03 Views : 550 It even goes round-n-round! rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 21-Jun-15 16:02 Views : 585 All done. Note the offset of the rim holes as I mentioned earlier. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 21-Jun-15 16:01 Views : 546 Working on the top side with the wire all tangled up. I found that you should take time to un-tangle the wire about every three holes. Also, as John O intoned, MAKE SURE that the length of the piece of the spoke material is long enough!!! (40 spokes) X (1 1/8 radius) = 50 inches. I added 10 inches for a comfort factor. rayl Scratch Built Loening OL-8 Amphibian Build 21-Jun-15 15:57 Views : 562 here the bottom side is done, starting on the top side.
