    Scale Byron Glasair Build

    Didn't use the Byronfoam wings or tail parts, the wings are foam rib design with plywood joiners that lap a former in the fuselage. The tail parts are balsa sheeted foam cores. Using a Valley View 40 twin for power, Hitec servos, and Frsky radio.

    Scale Byron Glasair Build

    Well I set the Champ aside for the time being and got the first coat of primer on the Glasair. I use a 1/2" pipe with the flange on one end to hold and rotate the fuslage and cowl. The flange is bolted to the engine mount, there is a wood donut supporting the cowl at the spinner opening. The...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    With the split ailerons, do you really need to have the servos matched dead nuts over the entire span? I have had great success with the XPS 10X channel expander, I'm sure the X24 will do a great job for you.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    It has been a while since the last update, 8 days at the beach, 2 days at Joe Nall, 3 days cutting grass, 1 "honey do" project, 1 day helping out my brother at the auto repair, not much time for the Champ. I'm using CB Associates hinges for the Champ, the leaves are 1/16" thick. On the...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    That will work, wonder why you didn't make the horns out of the same sheet used for other surfaces? Nall was great by the way, hope to make it back with an airplane or two in the future. Got to give it to the 3D line, they hammer it all day long, 3 to 4 plane in the air at all times, the main...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    I think that the majority of the remaining parts are in hand, but the problem here is I will be traveling with my dear wife!!!! Pretty sure when I return this project is going on the back burner and I will paint the Bryon Glasair.

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    It well could have, I'm not taking any chances. I used Stits once before and had terrible problems with the rudder and stabilizer deforming when heat stretching the fabric, I'm pretty sure I can pull the snot out of this structure. I can't remember having any problems with Sig Coverall and...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    The grandsons were late this morning so I was able to get the spruce strips on the buck this morning, there was not trouble bending the 1/8" thick strips around the buck after 8 hours in the household ammonia. Was able to glue up the strips after dinner tonight. Clear package tape is used as...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Been thinking about drilling the holes for the joiner tubes for the past few days. This is what i decided to do, bought a 2'x4' piece of 7/16" OSB at Lowes. Cut the sheet down to size so that the jig will fit on the drill press for drilling the holes. With slow cure epoxy glued the tubes and...

    Don't recall any problems jointing the sides when I built the BUSA Super Cub, just looked through the build album any didn't take any photos of that step of the build, of course the members were square sticks not round like yours. Here's a photo of the full scale taken at the Piper museum some...
