NATOMike | Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 | Parked | 12-Jun-21 14:08 | | Views : 845 | slow and not a lot of time for male this |
NATOMike | Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 | Parked | 12-Jun-21 14:04 | | Views : 696 | Finished Balsa wood (except fuel tank) |
NATOMike | Guillows Series 800 - Stearman PT-17 | Build | 21-Jun-20 10:31 | | Views : 1219 | Got it all together and then realised I had forgotten to shrink the tissue. 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 : 1134 | 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 : 984 | 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 : 922 | 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. |
