| biplane guy | 15-Apr-16 10:43 | | Prop shaft detail, exhaust detail, spark plugs and wiring detail. Spark plug wires cut from 24 gauge jewelry wire. Tubes connecting cylinder heads cut from scrap 1/16 wire rod from kit. |
| Skyediamonds1985 | 15-Apr-16 19:48 | | Welcome to the VA, if you're a new member. Thank you for the compliments on my PT-17 build. It was my first detailed build in over 30 years. Had to take time out to raise a family, work, and so on. I really enjoyed viewing your builds and postings. I felt like I was rebuilding the PT-17/N2S all over again. Still have the model and several details if interested. -Sky |
| Skyediamonds1985 | 15-Apr-16 19:54 | | I noticed you added the extra cooling fins on each cylinder for the exhaust manifolds. Excellent work of detailing!! I'm currently working on my S.E. 5. |
| biplane guy | 15-Apr-16 19:58 | | Hi Sky, I appreciate the welcome. Sounds like we're in the same boat (or plane). I'm just getting back into building after a 40 year hiatus for all of the same reasons. I will take you up on the offer to share details about your build. Thanks again, Keith.

| biplane guy | 15-Apr-16 20:05 | | Just read about your S.E. 5, would love to see pics. I grew up fascinated by biplanes, never was a jet fan. My last build before the kids came along was a Liberty Sport Sig kit. Last summer my daughter bought the two of us a ride in a WACO UPF-7. Thrill of a lifetime. Wish I could find a kit. |
