    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    quick and dirty, I just picked up all the pcs and CAed them back together, the front windshield was smashed on the left side, , no replacing that so I just used clear packing tape. If it flies straight and true I may make an effort to further replace the windows, but can't do much about the...

    110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

    no wing damage except the fiberglass tip which I just CAed back together. Windows were in pcs, I found most, and just CAed them back together, not fancy repair.

    welcome to the club, sorry about that nevertheless. mine was repaired last year after clipping that pole on approach, and I've been flying the heck out of it the last few months since we got a new field. here is some inspiration to get her fixed.

    I have built one of their small kits for something to do during our lockdown last year it was their 1 meter span Tiger Moth, a very well made and fitting laser cut kit, but with some unconventional building techniques, it to my surprise flew like a dream. This kind of thing is what they were...

    Paolo Severin made a 1/4 scale storch kit with a welded stainless steel fuse and it was fine. Also the Zlin company in the Czech Republic builders of the full scale Bobber also make a steel framed model in both 1/3 scale and 1/2.5 scale which are super slow flyers, so it is possible to make a...

    Different version, the one I pictured is a Chinese manufacturer. Dancing wings.

DW has been upping there game...
