    Switching gears from the Cherokee, getting ready to put the fabric back on. Decided to sand down the bench top and put a coupple coats of polyurethane on before the festivities begin.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Best tool I found to remove the old fabric cement is a pin stripe removal tool ,even works on the balsa. The left aileron on the top is ready for fabric, made the lightening holes larger and replaced the 1/4" thick balsa rib sections with 1/4" x 1/8" spruce, the screws didn't work well in the...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Finished cleaning off the right wing yesterday, what a pain getting the screws out since I had filed the heads down to reduce the height when it was originally covered. The original screws were slotted, had to re-slot a few where the filing was aggressive. The new screws are button heads with...

    Scale 112” - Taylorcraft by HeyLuc & Snoopy.

    That's pretty typical, I bought a 4x8 sheet from Eplastics and had them cut it into 6 24" x 32" pieces. They shipped it rolled so shipping wasn't too bad. What size are looking for? I can get is and mail to you if you like.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    The ribs are 1/4" x 1/8" Sitka spruce. I think you will be fine once covered. The tips are basswood, it is almost finished, had to quit for a while, sanding was boring me to tears. I used Titebond III to laminate the bows, that adds to making the sanding more difficult. Might be ready for...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Just a short update, last season I damaged the left wing while experiencing pilot induced isolations. While recovering both wings I am correcting a couple of errors in the build. The plans show the leading edge sheeting ending at the last full rib while the service manual shows it ending at...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% Piper Cherokee Glass Fuselage Build.

    The last two molds until the fuselage is painted and ready to mold. Making a mold for the main wheels so that that they will get laid up with KEVLAR, plan to put the hard points in while laying up the pants, one right, one left. The other plug is the revised main gear fairing. Have the Champ...
