    Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.

    It's really fun to be putting stuff together for the last time lol. This evening I attacked the aileron servos and the bottom ailerons. Extensions made, and everything gathered up and ready to start. Put the servo back on the hatch and thought I was going to have a big problem. The...

    The inside of the cowl looks sooooo much better all black than it did with 5 different colors of overspray ;) And I started putting the tail back together for the FINAL TIME! :)

    Yep, I get pretty knocky knee'd for an hour or so after it's done, then I have to go basically annual the thing before the second flight to assure myself that its okay :)

    Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.

    Ah, it isn't perfect which is just what I want (cause I'm not afraid to fly it). I'm starting to get excited about seeing it in the air, and I'm sure I'll be nervous but nothing will keep this bird on the ground. Heck I built it, I can fix it if I have to (hope not) and the worst thing that...

    Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.

    Finishing the last little bit of painting. I painted the firewall, cowl mounts, the inside of the cowling, tail wheel bracket and tiller arm flat black. I then painted the upper landing wire tabs, and slave struts red as well as the bottom tail brace wire tab white. The slave struts and tabs...

    The Culp is one darn sexy airplane. Another one that is right up there is the Pitts Samson. If I ever design something of my own (not just radically changing someone else's design) it have to be it.

    I couldn't help it. After the clear hardened up this evening, I had to pin it together. Ever have one of those "I can't believe I did that" moments? I've been happy with this thing from the start, but after finally seeing it put together and with all the right colors on it, it's the first...

    Put the clear on the wheel pants and cowl this morning. I will get the airframe cleared after the holiday, then this project will be heading toward the finish line like a freight train.

    99.98% of the time I fly at home, and home is an airport with a paved runway. Or as I call it, the wheel pant saver :D

    I have a set of the Waco plans, they are really nice. I think it would be a fun build.

    If you need any body filler I use stuff from NAPA called Blue Icing. It's a polyester 2 part putty that dries in about 10 minutes and sands really, really easy. It's great for spot fixes, like small clusters of pin holes, chips, nicks and dings, low spots and so on. I like to use it on top...

    Continuing with the Krier Kraft, I got the masking done on the cowl and wheel pants done and sprayed them white. The red and clear will be done tomorrow! These are definitely the most masking on wheel pants I've done in awhile! And now they are white!

    Some of you may remember last fall when I got the box of grampa's molds from one of his buddies the cowl for his Hot Kanary was in it. That's the next project for me, another grampa copy. The plans are from Model Airplane News, and it's one of those airplanes that looks bigger than it is. The...

    That has been one of the best things about doing this thread, stirring up memories for a lot of people. Whether it is just a memory about the proper direction of a flag on an airplane (also, grampa would always gripe about a flag flying up wind also haha) or the memories that @Pistolera has...

    Sanding is a paint in the butt, especially full scale airplanes! But it will all be worth it in the end, nothing beats the first time you take a new model to the field and all the guys drool over it :) Keep up the good work, it is looking fantastic!!
