    Scale 112” - Taylorcraft by HeyLuc & Snoopy.

    Well first you will need to make a mold, two piece of one piece? When I laid up the canopy for the Cherokee, I used one 4 ounce layer and one 6 ounce layer of glass on the final version. The first one I made was 4 ounce and two layers of 6 ounce cloth, it was a little heavy. I am doing some...

    Scale 112” - Taylorcraft by HeyLuc & Snoopy.

    Ordered some Kevlar to play with, I think it will be a great wheel pant reinforcement where they tend to crack around the wheel opening. I plan to wet it out on a piece of wax paper. The special purpose scissors are a must.

    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    Randolf's Ranthane. I really like it compared to the Steward System water born paint but I can only use it during the summer months. Looking forward to finishing the fuselage now, been moving it around the basement for 14 years.

    What is the thickness of the plywood? That looks to be a bullet proof firewall.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    One of the problems with the Roto four stroke engines is the oil that comes out of the crankcase vent tube. It makes quite a mess after a day of flying. Vogelsang Aeroscale offers an oil catch tank that comes with one fitting, a tank and a bundle of cotton rolls. It seems to me two fittings...

    That looks to be a rather large piece, are there 4 pieces?

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Assembling the tail plane, lots of little parts. I left the logo paint mask on for several days, then before removing the mask, the mask was wet sanded with 320 to make pulling it off without the logo safer, it came off real easy. There is fine detail on the logo, I pulled the mask off early...

    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    Came home from my grandson's Little League playoff game tonight and did a little more work, they won by the way so I'll bee back there tomorrow. Installed the pulley cover, marker light, fuel tank cover and filler cap. The cap was one of the first projects I made on my lathe when I purchased...

    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    Some photos of the partially assembled wing. I ordered .012" SS wire from McMaster-Carr today to double wrap the turnbuckles and I am missing one turnbuckle, ordered that from DuBro. The servos are hidden under the fuel tank covers and the flap rod end is hidden in the trailing edge like the...

    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    I came home from the fun fly today and decided that I going to assemble the Champ then finish this Piper Cub. The wings just look so nice I have to finish it. I will use Stitts products so I would like to work outside if possible.

    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    Here's a few photos of the wings from today. I had previously painted the wings however the paint fish eyed and had remove the covering and redo it' The wings had been in storage sometime with the Stits silver paint on waiting for final color. The fish eye problem was due to just using a hose...

    Scale BUSA Super Cub

    I put the Daytona White on the wings today. I started this build back in 2006 for a friend, our flying styles changed over the years and he began flying large scale Aeroworks planes. This plane went by the way side and I have been moving it around for years, can't you how many Aeroworks planes...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Put the 7AC orange on today. The paint masks from Aero Graphics work great. I pulled the tape off the fuselage and rudder while the paint was tacky, I'm leaving the Aeronca logo mask on until the paint is fully dry since it is quite fragile. Located all the pieces for the Super Cub wings...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    I have these 33% Piper Super Cub wings that need painted, I plan to paint these before I take down the makeshift spray booth, hopefully this will simulate me into finishing the the fuselage and getting it painted. That may be a different build log.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Put the 7AC yellow on today. The 3 mm pinking shears really helped making the transition nice with the bias cut pinking tape and the reinforcements for the horizontal stab tubes. There's a lot going on there and it worked much better. Grandson coming tomorrow and on Thursday I need to get to...

    Was at the Butler Area Modelers Society (BAMS) scale fun fly yesterday, had both of my One Designs there. No judging just a nice IMAA like fun fly. Man is dry dry here in PA. I went from cutting the grass twice a week in early May to not cutting at all. I could not believe how brown the grass was

    Well I didn't realize the grandsons were coming over today, looks like painting will not begin until Sunday unless I decide to go flying, if that's the case no color until Tuesday.
