    Scale Balsa USA Camel F1

    I picked the Glue out of the hinges and made up the pushrod and I modified the control horns that came with the kit and installed them. Finished off the tank tray to fit the tank.I'm installing a 16 oz Tail Dragger Fuel tank. I don't like the lines that come inside these and other Clear tanks...

    Scale Balsa USA Camel F1

    I had a dilemma as to how to mount the gas tank. It has to be removable to get to the motor mount screws. . I had to move the Servos rearward but I don't think it will affect much since it is so close to the CG. I'll add led if I have to. Sometimes one don't have a choice. Hooked up the Pull...

    Ordered my Su-26

    This is an old design from the BME days. Had many discussions about it with a few people. Everyone agrees that there is no way to beef up the gear area and have a canister tunnel. People put up with it cause they like the way the plane flies. I'm one of them. However I eliminated the canister...

    Ordered my Su-26

    Yes I used light ply. But I used 2 pieces of 1/64 ply. . This allows you to keep the curve of the fuse. Put some covering down in font of the gear that you can take back off. Cut out 2 pieces of ply about 1/8 larger on each side... (TIP= You can use scissors to cut the ply.) put some wood glue...

    Scale Balsa USA Camel F1

    Someone asked me about my covering methods. I put a thin strip into corners first. I also put a strip where ever there's going to be some hinges and I cut a slot or in the case of pin hinges a hole. Then install the hinge. I ended up gluing the hinges on the wing part with Gorilla Glue. Messing...

    Ordered my Su-26

    I actually tore my Gear out from about 5 feet up in front of Herve and Gaby. Talk about embarrassing. All gabby said was . You need to keep your speed up on landing. I also broke the gear so I guess I hit harder then you. I pieced the broken ply together in the the fuse as close to original as...

    Scale Balsa USA Camel F1

    Today I soldered the bracing rods. Then I decided to finish up the top wing. I took the Center rib out between the spars. On the full scale Camel there is a hole in the top wing in the middle of the wing. I believe this was designed in to give the pilot a better view of what's above him. The...

    Made up the brackets and bracing wires for the tail. Don't have them soldered yet. Also cobbled up control horns for the pull pull on the Ruder The nose of the plane makes a perfect plane stand for working on the tail. :)

    Scale Balsa USA Camel F1

    I have been working on the Camel. Just no pictures. I had to remount the lower wing. When I was trying to set the horizontal stab I noticed something didn't look right. Remember this. If your eye is telling you something is wrong. There probably is something wrong. Went through all the setups...
