    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Managed to get the three pieces back into one. There are 20 2-56 blind nuts and screws holding it together. Tried to put all of the screws in the same location as the full scale. There are more on the bottom than the top, I guess the top is the last piece to install? Still picking the thick...

    Yes the springs will get hardened and tempered. Propane torch in a brick enclosure until the steel becomes non magnetic, then oil quench, tempered in the Whilpool oven.

    Time to split the cowl. The cowl was leveled to the angle of the nose bowl and a laser level was used to lay out the cut line. The nose was removed and began making the flanges for the cowl section. Doing one side at a time, no hurry. A piece of 1/32" ply and pairs of magnets are used to...

    The strongest spar would have the top and bottom fibers as far away as possible but I would but it on the bottom so that the corners could be knocked off with a sanding bar.

    Managed to finish the tail post clamp and rudder arms. Think I may split the cowl into three pieces next.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    When I bought this kit last October, researched the net about the kit. I found no comments about problems building the wing, is it possible the kit was missing a jig or the plans are distorted?

    So here is the finished version, a lot messing around and redoing things, I'm stopping here. Need to make the clamp for the spring at the tail post and the spring brackets that mount on the rudder. Oh and heat treat the springs.

    Thanks. From what I can tell, the 3200 was used on later models of the Champ, mid 1950's maybe. There was also a Maule brand used. Don't understand the rime or reason for selecting one over the other. Actually started making a 3200 look-a-like but changed after reviewing the service manual.

    Been working off and on over the past few days on the tail wheel. Did a lot of looking at photos and have discovered that there are as many versions of tail wheels as nose bowls. Decided on the Scott 3000 version shown below which matches the service manual drawing. Found a drawing of the...
