    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I really do not know HOW I haven't been following this one, but I feel like the moron that said, "don't invest in computers, it's just a fad" lol. Seriously this thing is siiiiiiiiiiiiick Amazing work!!

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

    I tweaked on the Fin and Rudder shape AGAIN lol, and I think I finally got it to look right to me. just needed to make the leading edge of the fin stand a little closer to vertical, made the radius a little bit smaller at the top rear of the rudder and shrunk the dorsal... There, it's staying...

    @Jetpainter Here ya go! I don't think it would be all that bad to design, might even give it a go myself after the Krier.

    Got some Ideas for some Jigs to help with the building process that I'm probably going to make first. But building time is getting a lot closer :)

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

    I tweaked on the rib shape just a little, it has always been semi-symmetrical airfoil but the shape that it was on the original plan would have been a PIA to build as you couldn't pin any spars to the board without shimming them. So I flattened the bottom out just 3/32" and now I can build the...

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

    Dad got to going through his pictures for me and came up with a few more pictures of Grampa's Krier. The best thing is, I had already finished drawing my wing tips and horizontal tail when dad found these. I'm feeling pretty good about my ability to think like my Grampa now lol :D The fella...

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

    Well got the Horizontal and elevator drawing finished today. I'm using 3/8x 1/2 inch balsa just like the fin and rudder, and like the wingtips the tips of the stab will be laminated out of 5 laminates of 3/32. Then it will have hardwood dowels inserted into the leading and trailing edge of the...

    Woo Hoo! No FAA intrusion.....maybe

    The language in the senate bill is still concerning, but the language in the house's version is much better and it still has to be passed and then go to mediation and then be passed again. This press release shows at least that some of our "leaders" are starting to see a separation of drones...

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

    Yea it's quite a bit of work, but I'm doing it for me. When I'm all finished if someone else wants to give it a go, all I could ask is to get credit for changing the original design :) Yep, Bipes are no harder and only a little more work than monoplanes. Most of the tricky stuff would be...

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

    Didn't do a lot this evening, but I did finish up the wing and got the out line of the horizontal drawn using the one shape from the Gordon Whitehead plans. To determine the size, I figured out the % of the wing span the stab span is. It was 42%, so 42% of 71" came to 29 and a bunch of...

    Never thought of having them scanned to a PDF file! Good Idea! Even still I won't want any money, I just think it would be cool to see a few more Kriers out there ;)

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

    I've bought Tower wood before, never had any complaints. The main reason I'm going to Sig is because I can get all of the sizes and types that I need from them. Tower doesn't have all the sizes I need. Sig is a little bit cheaper though, but really cost is a wash among all of the suppliers...

    After I build it and make any changes I find I need to make I'll have a bunch made for the cost of having them copied. I think it would be cool to see a handful of Krier Kraft models out there!

    Been feeling a little under the weather this weekend so I didn't get to fly much or work on my Krier plans anywhere near as much as I wanted to but I was feeling a little better after lunch today so I got to drawing in some detail on the wings before the Cavs game starts this evening. Drew...

    Having a conversation with dad tonight while watching the Cavs play he reminded me of another neat grampa story. At one of the fly ins grampa Mick had the Krier Kraft at he met Don Anderson of Great Planes. Don was enamored with the Krier, and asked Grampa if he could use his paint scheme on...
