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

    So with all the Christmas festivities over, I managed to get the top wing finished. So now with both wings done it's time to move on to all the details. I fully intended on building both N struts last night but only managed to get one done because I got side tracked making flying wires that...

    Hope everyone has a very merry Christmas! I stole a hour and played with the Krier this evening. Even though I still have to put caps on the top wing I pinned it all together with the intention of starting to make the "N" struts but got sidetracked lol. Sitting on my tookus and eyeballing it...

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

    Span is 71 inches length is 59 inches so it is exactly 1/4 scale according to the measurements published in the magazine article I have on the full scale. Where the plane sits right now I'm about 5.5 pounds give or take (I've added and removed a few things since the last time I weighed it) I'm...

    Hey guys, I'm still kicking I promise! 'Tis the season to be running around like a chicken with its head cut off lol, I have been occasionally squeezing in a hour or so of work on the Krier every now and then. Haven't been taking a lot of pictures because it's the top wing...... It's pretty...

    I understand your predicament completely! Between Christmas, family and the Ice storm we got in Ohio I think I've worked on the my Krier all of about 2 hours in the past 2 weeks! Lol The Pitts is looking awesome, I really like the change you made in the canopy, looks sportier :)

    Calling all Pitts, Stearman, Waco, big bipes not dreadfully slow. 70"+ws

    I'd be in for it, only limiting factor for me would be distance. A slightly smaller turn out would be good, only having to share the sky with one airplane instead of 7 when flying my M12 would be nice! :) I've often thought of organizing a biplane and classics event, how cool would it be to...

    Not much going on with the Krier the last couple of days. Been working on a Buddy's Hurley 35% Extra and its fighting me lol. I do have some hardware ordered for the Krier and there has been a change in plans on the engine. I originally planned on a DLE or EME 35 but the light weight always...

    Thank you! This thing has been ton of fun, I think the aspect of kinda making it up as I go along is the best part. :) I look forward to seeing your posts in your Pitts build, you kicked some serious butt with that thing!

    I want to give that Proton scheme a try. I just can't bring myself to tear the covering off of my 35%, it's only a couple of years old and only flown 12 times lol

    :In_love::In_love::In_love::In_love: WOOW WOOW WOOW!!! I love Stardusters!! I started building a full scale SA-100 when I was 14 but unfortunately I got to tall to fit in it and had to sell it before I finished. If I ever give building full scale another go it will either be a Starduster Too...

    Still putting sheeting on. Tonight I worked on the Leading edge sheeting and getting the recesses for the front cabanes cut. Tomorrow it will be the center section sheeting, the "N" strut mounts and the flying wire tabs. After I sheeted the center section leading edge, I back drilled the...

    Chugging away on the top wing. I got the cabane mounts finished, the wing trammeled and the bolt holes drilled. I just tapped the wood block for now because I haven't made up my mind whether or not I want to use blind nuts. I'm using a 1/4-20 bolt, they are most definitely over kill but...

    Haha, I forgot to put that in there! But yes, I first soaked the 1/16" strips in warm tap water. I really don't like to use Windex, I always have trouble getting the glue to adhere to the wood because of the soap. Ammonia is needed if you are using harder woods like that in full scale...
