Sport The Kool Kanary (Giant Hot Kanary)
Well, I already ordered all of the wood along with 90% of the hardware and covering over a month ago so now it's time to get started. Now I'm not going to redesign this airplane like I did the Krier Kraft, but I'm also not going to build it 100% according to the plans either. I will describe...- Bipeguy03

Sport The Kool Kanary (Giant Hot Kanary)
Here's a couple more pictures of Grampa's at the club show. These pretty much represent the only pictures we have of his Kanary. So now some info on the airplane. While it is meant for a 35cc engine it is a rather small airplane with a wing span of only 56 inches, the full scale Warwick...- Bipeguy03

Sport The Kool Kanary (Giant Hot Kanary)
Building season is once again upon us, and for me it's time for another scratch built bipe. Some of you may remember during my Krier Kraft build, that a friend of my Grampa Micky gave me boxes full of plans and molds for some of the airplanes that he and grampa built in the 80s. In those boxes...- Bipeguy03

Show Me the Biplanes!!!!
Well darn! Lol But really though, what you got there looks really cool. Looks a bit like a classic pylon racer, which is what the Kanary is.- Bipeguy03

@Jetpainter You decide on your next project yet? lol I'll probably be starting the Kanary in a week or so, I'm repainting the floor in the shop this week, but I already bought the wood and most of the hardware.- Bipeguy03

Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.
I put some cloth tape in the aileron cove as a gap seal, and increased the aileron travel slightly. She's now waiting on weather so I can get some more flight time on her. Over the next day or so I'm going to get the plans tweaked on and then get them up to the graphics shop to see how much it...- Bipeguy03

Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.
IT FLYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After pacing around for about an hour, we fired her up and I shoved the left stick forward. The take off roll was pretty easy going, it did pull to the left pretty good, but once I got to rotation speed I had plenty of rudder authority. After lift off she was still...- Bipeguy03

Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.
Welp, got the small issues I had taken care of. Which was basically the tank mount came loose because I got too stingy with the glue and I added some pieces of smoke tubing around the neck of the ball links on the slave rods as vibration isolators. Weather looks good tomorrow so after work...- Bipeguy03

Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.
Unfortunately no test flight today. It took a while to get the engine running reliably, which ended up being a fuel flow issue that we had to chase out. Once we got it running, I found a few small issues and I want to address them before I test fly it. I did however get to taxi it around for...- Bipeguy03

Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.
The fuel system is in an leak checked, a charge jack installed so I can check the RX battery voltage without pulling the wings off, and after I run the engine a few times and go through the airframe to ensure all the hardware is staying tight, it'll be time. If all goes well, and the weather...- Bipeguy03
