I was second. The other model is a Wade Wiley Basin Flyer. hjlittman, Image # 44614 16 Jul 24 20:30 hjlittman, Image # 44613 16 Jul 24 20:19 The tissue shrinking was done over night. hjlittman, Image # 44612 16 Jul 24 20:17 By Saturday night I had it covered and ready to shrink tissue. hjlittman, Image # 44611 16 Jul 24 20:03 I used my usual clothes pin/tongue depresser method to make sure I got the formers straight hjlittman, Comment for image # 44610 16 Jul 24 20:02 This Rufe was built for the Black Sheep Exhibition Squadron "Put A Rufe Over Your Head" contest. The model could be built as a Zero but you got extra points for the float. I was reminded that the contest was upcoming on Sunday and started it on Friday afternoon. I knew that my wife would not cut me any slack on our usual Friday activities but I build anyway. hjlittman, Image # 44610 16 Jul 24 19:57 hjlittman, Image # 3693 24 Jul 07 00:37 Nose installed. When finished will have photo of Sakae21 engine printed on tissue and glued to nose plug. hjlittman, Image # 3692 24 Jul 07 00:35 Adjustable nose block under plastic cowl on Rufe. hjlittman, Image # 3691 24 Jul 07 00:34 Washout looks severe in this view, but is only 1/16 inch. Allows transition from power to glide without stall/spin. hjlittman, Image # 3690 24 Jul 07 00:32 Rufe wing pinned down to dry. Shrinking done with rubbing alcohol, 1/16 inch wedges under trailing edge of wing tips for washout. Done this way it stays. Build Thread, Page : [ 1 ] (13 posts, 20 posts per page, 1 pages in total)
