    Inside the Roto 85FS

    The left side pushrod sleeve seals were leaking on the engine in my Champ, while the plane is down for refinishing I planned to replace the seals. I ordered a gasket set from Vogelsang Aeroscale some time ago. The cylinder head must be removed to accomplished this task. I have possibly an...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    Thanks Steven. I have the front half of the fuselage roughed in. This one is better than the first build because I learned from the first build. On the first build I glued the 1/16" aircraft plywood doublers onto the 1/4" stick frame before assembling the fuselage sides, I had one heck of time...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    I plan to use the first canopy that I pulled for the original Cherokee, this was too heavy to use and it will work just great here. I have the first side pulled off and started building the second side

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    The photo below shows F5 and the rear most portion of the fuselage structure. You can see the difference of the original and what I plan to use. I plan to make the back half of the fuselage out of sheeted foam starting a F5 to the tail, all the lines represent how the hot wire will progress...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    So I have the Champ ready to paint and a friend from out of town is staying with us for the next few days, I don't want to do the paint work while she is here. Let's start another build then. I decided to start a new build and this will be focused on building the glass fuselage. Appowner and I...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    I found #0 x 3/8" button head steel metal screws at Lebanon RC flea market last year, they were packaged in 500 each bags so I bought a bag. Once I got home and compared the button heads to the pan head screws I used I realized that these screws would look better than the pan head screws I used...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    In keeping up with dhal22 decided to work on the landing gear struts. The full scale struts are covered with aluminum sheet. Most of the photos I have looked at show that the covers had one form of ding so I wasn't too careful while I wrapped the aluminum. The top rail was added to attach the...
