    Scale Balsa USA Camel F1

    Finished up the flying wires. Made up the tail skid. Plumbed the fuel tank but ran short on fuel line for the vent hose. I'll finish that tomorrow. Art Frye has some so he'll save me a trip to the LHS. I also got the Sewing Awl in the mail yesterday. Time top learn how to sew. LOL.

What you can't tell by the pictures is that I have a 1/2 in piece of foam under the ignition. other then that I never use zip ties because the plastic transfers vibration. On The IBEC. I plugged it into channel 5 in the receiver and set the switch to...

    I uncovered the ruder. Found all the glue joints tight. I had to reinforce the ruder by cros bracing it. So much for light construction. My son came by on his way to a dog trials. I put the plane together for him so he could see it. Got the ruder re covered and painted. Still straight and feels...

    I'm in painting mode but don't have stencils. So I started hooking up the tail servos and installed the bracing wires on the tail. Found 2 problems along the way. The Ruder warped and it's real flexible.I'll have to un cover it and check it out. Hope I don't have to make a new one. The other...

    Had to get some pinstriping tape so I could paint the tail. Wish I had it for the other stripes. Lot less bleeding around the Edge. Got the stripes on and the Engine painted. This is my first time trying to weather the Engine. Not to bad. I can tell by how bright the stripes look that I'll have...

    Worked on the Dummy Radial Today. Waiting on Stencils. Still no date on that. The engine looked to plane so I decided to put some pushrods on there. There was no way to hold the pushrod at the top of the engine. Made up some rocker arms from hard wood. They are'nt scale but you can't se them...

    Got the green on top painted. Had a heck of a time with the air brush. Couldn't adjust it. When I was cleaning it up I found the siphon hose is cracked. Back to painting with a brush.

    Scale Balsa USA Camel F1

    Finished covering the fuse. Ran short on covering. I was going to to use coverite all the way to the front but had to revert to the original and more scale plan. I spliced the covering on both sides at the leading Edge of the stab. Can't even tell unless you are looking for a needle in a...

    Had a couple of sessions with Covering on the tail of the Camel. Went to Muncie to fly with Bill Gentry in between . I didn't get my plane out. I thought it was to cold. Did hang around and help Bill with his Jet.
