I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

The center of gravity is off (too tail heavy). Not sure I will be abel to get it to fly, but learned a lot about making this model. Tough build, but wings are easier than the SE5a. NATOMike Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 Build 21-Jun-20 10:29 Views : 1165 Got both outer struts on. With the one of the left I pieced together the struts properly. The ones of the right side (as seen from the front) are backwards. It was not obvious from the start, but once I saw the proper way it made sense. NATOMike Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 Parked 21-Jun-20 10:27 Views : 1013 Attached the upper wing by starting with the inner struts, little hard without "slots " for the rear struts NATOMike Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 Build 15-Jun-20 12:44 Views : 949 Finished covering with tissue. I discovered that the B5 pieces were so long I could not place the lower wing underneath the fuselage. Spent some time sanding it down. I am beginning to assemble the parts, but I am not sure the nose cone will go on easily to make it flyable. I can already sense the CG and the CM are way off. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview NATOMike Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 Parked 15-Jun-20 12:42 Views : 939 The lower wing was a serious challenge and I avoided making any control surface moveable. I originally wanted to make a flyable model, but not sure that will happen. NATOMike Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 Parked 15-Jun-20 12:41 Views : 1001 Started lower wing, but decided not to build diherdyl or make the aileron separate. This has been a challenge so far and I am frustrated with the complexity. I overshot with a more advanced build NATOMike Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 Parked 15-Jun-20 12:38 Views : 919 This is the first time I had to shape the leading edge. I used sandpaper, but should have used a knife/razor. NATOMike Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 Build 15-Jun-20 12:37 Views : 910 Finally catching up with the pictures. Upper Wing done NATOMike Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 Parked 16-May-20 13:37 Views : 864 Very busy few weeks, ut I was able to buckle down and get this completed. The Wing are okay, but my next step is to put a dihedral in the lower wing NATOMike Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 Parked 16-May-20 13:35 Views : 842 Finally, after a few busy weeks at work i was able finish the two wing Page (2 in total) :  <<  [ < Prev ]
