| moostang51 | Guillows Series 900 - Trojan | Build | 16-Sep-07 18:03 |  | | Views : 2587 | | Damn stickers weren't even dry yet. Oh...woe is me. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 900 - Trojan | Build | 16-Sep-07 18:02 |  | | Views : 2361 | | My son wanted the "stickers" on it. Geez, now I hope you all can appreciate what I deal with. Underside tomorrow...maybe. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 900 - Trojan | Build | 16-Sep-07 16:19 |  | | Views : 2205 | | Lines are for moveable surfaces only. Poppy, give you a lot of credit since you mark out all panel lines. Small spinner cut with a dremel from 1/2" square stock mounted on 3/32" wood dowel. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 900 - Trojan | Build | 16-Sep-07 16:15 |  | | Views : 2187 | | It was a good learning experience on trying the balsa sheeting in lieu of silkspan. Both have their advantages. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 900 - Trojan | Build | 16-Sep-07 16:13 |  | | Views : 2412 | | Getting close to finishing. Will not install landing gear. Canopy still in limbo. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 900 - Trojan | Build | 02-Sep-07 16:15 |  | | Views : 2315 | | Two part canopy pressed correctly from Guillow's, so I thought and carve a mold to press into styrene. After four attempts, I may call Guillo'w for a replacement. NFG!!! |

| moostang51 | Guillows Series 900 - Trojan | Build | 02-Sep-07 16:12 |  | | Views : 2306 | | Poolside with temps in the 80's. Perfect temp for first coat of chrome paint. Tail surface wing walk, and side fuselage masked. Steel wool and 2nd coat tomorrow. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 900 - Trojan | Build | 31-Aug-07 17:05 |  | | Views : 2284 | | First prime and 400 grit rub. All imperfections revealed but plane is 90% glass finish. Rudder cracked so a little fixing is required. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 900 - Trojan | Build | 30-Aug-07 17:28 |  | | Views : 2183 | | Okay , I'm hooked. Micro-Fill is amazing. First application and sanding. Best part though, how easily it sands versus the Hobbico. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 900 - Trojan | Build | 30-Aug-07 09:02 |  | | Views : 2427 | | Covered and ready for Magic filler and sanding. Poppy, like silkspan, wings much less complicated than the fuselage. Single sheet for wings, 8 pieces for fuse. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 900 - Trojan | Build | 27-Aug-07 12:59 |  | | Views : 2140 | | No, it's not a duck decoy. Right wing skinned with 1/32" balsa. Stabe and rudder carved 3/32" stock. Practice on the little boys makes the bigger boys that much easier. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 900 - Trojan | Build | 27-Aug-07 12:56 |  | | Views : 2263 | | Right wing framed with a little extra lumber for attachment. |
