| LASTWOODSMAN | Scratch Built Curtiss Pusher | Parked | 26-Apr-17 10:36 |  | | Views : 907 | | This is my Ailerons diagram - your diagram showed me that I have to reverse the double elevator control wires on my diagram, to coincide with forward/backward movement of the control stick column/wheel , that push pulls the foreplane rod connected to the foreplane fin on the single foreplane wing - so that elevators and foreplane work synchronously. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Scratch Built Curtiss Pusher | Parked | 26-Apr-17 10:29 |  | | Views : 906 | | BPGuy - this is my hand drafted diagram of Rudder/Elevator for my model - there is no spinning steering wheel for rudder control, it has aileron and elevator control drive arms (not small horns), "Guide Tubes" and a single pivoting rudder (no fin) with a rudder "Tiller" |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Scratch Built Curtiss Pusher | Parked | 10-Feb-17 20:39 |  | | Views : 896 | | The wheel rim is ready for the spokes and the hub ... first a little "Dremelling" sanding to round out the edges. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Scratch Built Curtiss Pusher | Parked | 10-Feb-17 20:35 |  | | Views : 950 | | SUCCESS - it worked - "Mandrake" and "Bloodroot" hold up the new perfectly drilled wheel rim in Victory, before beaming back to the future in their "captured Mig 17". |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Scratch Built Curtiss Pusher | Parked | 10-Feb-17 20:28 |  | | Views : 909 | | DRAFTSMAN DIAGRAM - I should have made this diagram at the start. This shows the correct hole locations, to "awl", open a bit with a 1/32" drill bit, then five more drilling operations, with a pin vise, all on each felloe hole to enlarge it to a 3/32" wheel rim hole. My fingers were getting pretty sore from all of that pin-vise drilling by hand! |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Scratch Built Curtiss Pusher | Parked | 10-Feb-17 20:19 |  | | Views : 918 | | "Mandrake" and "Bloodroot" Cyborg Soldier Engineering Consultants beamed in from the future in their "captured Mig 17", to assess the situation and offer assistance and analysis. Their "CONCLUSION" -the drill bits did not "wander" or "walk" away from the "awl-made" starter location holes. The starter holes were made in the wrong locations. "RECOMMENDATION" - go "BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD" and draw it all out in full size and start all over again. |
