CPN, Comment for image # 18773 | 07 Aug 10 19:32 | Exhaust stubs out of a soda straw as per the plan, right! I'll have to post a new picture of it - I painted the prop and added the spinner. The finish is not great, I wanted to keep it lite! Funny thing happened the other day - I brought it to work, and just as I was about to leave, I took it outside, gave it about 250 winds and let it go. The damdest thing happened. It flew! And well. I believe that is called flying "right off the board". It's never happened to me before. This is a good kit. I might get myself a new, laser cut one. |

Richardsk, Comment for image # 18773 | 03 Aug 10 23:57 | Very nice! I still have the plan and some of the parts of the Peck Zero from long ago and am thinking of making one as an model 5 since the wing is wrong for the earlier model. This would mean making visible exhaust stubs of course! |
marlinus64, Comment for image # 18772 | 03 Aug 10 13:15 | For a new guy like me I think it looks pretty darn good. The covering is very nice. it's hard enough for me to get the larger scale planes built and covered. I can't imagine trying a peanut yet. Good job! |
CPN, Image # 18773 | 03 Aug 10 13:13 | All that is left is to paint the prop and add the spinner - oh yeah, and fly it. BTW, no decals - they disintegrated in water so it is all hand painted. |
CPN, Image # 18772 | 03 Aug 10 13:12 | Another view. It is covered in esaki and sprayed with floral spray. I intended for this to be a flyer - I have yet to build a peanut that looks good. |
CPN, Image # 18771 | 03 Aug 10 13:11 | Clearly not a Rufe. This is an old Peck Zero I bought on Ebay for maybe 3.50$. This is a printwook kit, not the laser cut ones like they sell now. Interesting features though. The majority of the wood is 1/20th of an inch, not 1/16th. The structure is very light. If you could see this thing before I covered/painted it, you could see the dozens of crunched parts and repaired mistakes I made. |
