I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Dang! Really nice and convincing. Again, James, thanks for the random photos.

Here is a video of it in flight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DVdn34B5IU

The definitive version of the indoor A-frame pusher.

Bill, No, I hadn't thought about mylar windows. I was going to use .005" acetate, but you've given me an idea. I have some .001", clear, heat shrink, food film which should work for the flat windows and could save some weight. I'll try it and post the results.

Are you going to put in the mylar windows, and if so would you try to elaborate and photo what/how you do it? (working on one of those myself right now...)

WOW! lookin' good. I like the cylinders.

The L-4 project tacked together for a "bones shot". The structure you see weighs 16 grams. I'm estimating 28 grams, covered and painted, less rubber.

That looks more familiar.
hjlittman, Comment for image # 2675730 Jun 12 21:08
LOL! However, this is the one I'm talking about. http://virtualaerodrome.com/image_detail.html?p_aircraft_id=368&p_image_id=17418&offset= Interested?

Neat looking plane, hjitman. I didn't, know they had a 30' s fighter like that.

Howard, how much does a laser cutter run these days?
hjlittman, Comment for image # 2675730 Jun 12 10:48
Yes, that's a laser cutter. Guillow does not want to kit the P-6E or the other '30s biplane fighters so I'm doing it myself.

What's it sitting on, BTW? Laser cutter?
jgood, Comment for image # 2675730 Jun 12 07:53
Very cool, Howard. Have you built one of these before? I hope you get video of it flying.

That looks like it will be a lot of fun to fly around on the 4th. Just make sure it doesn't land in the potato salad, or on the BBQ grill. lol! Happy 4th.

I get my 21st Century tool set up and the first thing I build is a design from the 19th Century. Go figure!

Taking a little break to prepare something for a 4th of July flying session. No, it's not a model oil rig.

Now to continue with attaching the nose. The whole nose assembly glues to the front of the fuselage. The removable section is right behind the nose block. the right bank of cylinder heads come off with the front section, the left bank is staggered to the rear and stays with the fixed section.

Back where we were when the disaster occured. This version is 2 grams heavier than my first try, but it can be handled with impunity.

I find that miniture Scunci hair clips make good, low crush strength, clamps for delicate work.
