Guillows Series 500 - Spitfire by NiteSeer. Viewed 1295 times. Build Thread Next Prev Click image to return. Image Comments NiteSeer 25-May-10 04:11 I replaced the stringers for some sig stringers. The guillow stringers were too heavy. The fuselage is light because I also poked some holes in the formers. NiteSeer 25-May-10 04:13 This is Guillow's kit 403 CPN 25-May-10 04:26 This is going to be a great looking plane - you can tell right away by how square and true everything is. Are you going to fly this? NiteSeer 25-May-10 04:37 Yes, I am going drill a lot of holes in the ribs, leading and trailing edge. And sand, sand, sand. scigs30 25-May-10 06:07 These kits are fun builds, the fuselage design on these is not too bad as far as weight goes. The heaviest part is the wing, I think it is designed for gas power. As you are finding out punching holes is time consuming. On a bird this big it really does not make too much of a difference. Adding the lighter stringers helps. Replace the leading edge with light balsa and skip adding ever other rib, and don't use all the spars, that should also help. The other part that makes this series heavy is all the plastic. Not much you can do about that. So far, great build can't wait to see her done. NiteSeer 25-May-10 09:15 Thanks for the tips.
