    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    I have experience with three different gyros, of course none of ones you mentioned. My first experience was with an E flight M12 foamy, my first and only foamy so far. I bought the plane to fly at the local boat launch parking lot. I felt like it was always fighting me. It was Spektrim AX3S...

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I need a few knees as well, right now still getting shots, my last shots were 12/31/24, my left knee was hurting after cutting some grass yesterday. A few Miller Lights helps to forget! I thought the detail on the BUSA windshield was very nice. I think a bead roller would be required to make a...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    I'm sure it is due to the fill material. The seat bottom is even more drastic, the plug weighted 177 grams, the glass version weights 37 grams. I have two seats completed and the total weight of both is less than the weight of the seat back plug. Weather forecast looks good today, will...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Spent a few days in Clearwater FLA, time to get back to work. I had the seat back halves laid up before I left and joined the halves last night after returning home. Did it a little different since there's little to no taper on the the sides. Popped the half parts out of the mold, washed...

    Have the seat molds completed, the seat back is ready to lay up while the seat bottom mold is curing. Will start waxing later today. As a note the seat back 3D printed version used for the plug weighted 166 grams, I hope the molded version are much lighter. This molds are much lighter than...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Forgot about this purchase. Seems like the tools always interfere with the live center, hopefully the extended and reduced diameter will help out. The one on the left was $15, had the one on the right since 2006. Got to stop looking at the computer and spend more time on the Cherokee!
