    Thanks all, I really do appreciate all the kind words! So bad news is, for the first time ever FreeKote mold release has let me down. The plug stuck in the mold in a spot around the front ring. #@%^!%@$$#^!!!!!! Good news, the plug only got screwed up on the side where it stuck, the other...

    Yay composite work!! Lol So the last few days I've been slinging some resin at some cloth. Finished the cowl plug and also laid up a wheel pant. Used grampa's molds to lay up a mate for the wheel pant that was already in the mold, definitely using the pant he made I think it will be cool...

    I always liked the Giles, probably because it's just a little different than an Extra or an Edge. Future kit offer?

    scale exhaust diameter

    Looks really good!! When I was researching P-51 for a display model I was building I remember reading a paper about the RR Merlin, and if memory serves the Stacks were 4 or 4.5 inches in diameter. Don't hold me to that though, I can't find the paper I read to check. I would be quite happy...

    Just trying to give ya some inspiration ;) The 35% is built differently than the 26% but I put mine directly on top of the fuel tank. I'm using a 24oz tank in the Pitts, but I only have a 16oz in the Ultimate and get about 6 minutes of smoke.

    Definitely need pre heaters. My ultimate and my Pitts never have anything more than a light film of residue on the bottom of the stab that takes all of 20 seconds to clean. The pre heaters I made aren't really that efficient either, as they are just a brass tube with some brass mounting tabs...

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

    @Doc, the cowling does tip in at the rear creating a cheek looking thing. Grampa's had it to as did the full scale. I'm not really sure of the reason it was done on the full scale, dad and my hypothesis is that Harold had trouble getting the cylinder head temps up, which running and engine...

    Discussion Did Sig stop selling wood?

    If you used the Sig Planes web site they don't list it there. Use the Sig MFG site and its under the building materials tab. http://sigmfg.com/cgi-bin/dpsmart.exe/IndexBuidlingMaterialsEquipmentF.html?E+Sig

    So my shop looks like I murdered a Smurf and when I blow my nose all I get is blue dust but I think I just about have the cowling plug carved. Remember when I made the over confident remark that the cowl was just round and shouldn't be that hard? Yea........ I was wrong. lol The next step...

    Yep, I'm sure the wires add a small bit of strength but they are just for show on this one. The wings are already like a tank and they are going to be covered with Sig Koverall which adds even more strength.
