    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Just did a quick weighing of everything. Without wiring, including everything else she's coming in at 21 lbs., 8.4 ounces. Taking into consideration last minute nuts, bolts and hardware and harnesses, I should still be able to make under 25 lbs. This could be lots of fun with the "Dub" 70 up front.

    I would lay odds you will have it done in plenty of time before next winter. I've been fortunate the last two weeks. Too much damn snow to work. Lol

    So speaking of the home stretch, my covering arrived today. Yes!! I actually went to work this morning but due to -16 degree temps and a wind chill of -30 below...fuel in all our equipment started "gelling" and hydraulics just did not want to work. Ah well, not a total loss. I spent the...

    Take this survey and you could WIN!

    So...I did this. I did not win any of the DA's. I did not win the Hangar 9 Extra. So, maybe this one?

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

    Very impressive work! I can with confidence suggest....these darn builds are a wagon full of work. And just about the time I figure I'm just so done...that inner ache to see the next step completed and the total outcome achieved, I get fired up again. I think it's a sickness. From the most...

    So today because it is "STILL" snowing. Like we haven't got enough as it is. Oh well, guess covering is the call of the day huh? I got started with the center section of the top wing and have to admit, about the "EASIEST" part on this plane to cover. LOL. It does look nice though. I will be...

    Not a problem. As I mentioned, this is what I have been doing and it seems to work well. But hey, I have nothing to do but cover it seems. Freaking snow. UGH.... LOL

    Monokote trim solvent works great on the edges for Ultra over Ultra. As for the bubbles, I've discovered a little technique. After your base coat is on, and sealed down "REALLY" well with about 225 degrees heat. (Shrinking the base layer with heat gun at this point) Turn down the iron to about...

    Just a little done today everyone. I finished the pin stripe on the right side of the fuse. It looks pretty good. I also finished the top of the lower wings and ailerons. I am very pleased with the wings thus far. I had my doubts on the extentions I built on the wings. But they covered...

    If you all look at the plane from a top view or bottom view...from top wing, to bottom wing to tail, Red, White and blue. Or in my case Red, White and Purple. If I "were" to mix it up, I would probably go with white on the top wing also. With more of the same style trim like on the tail. But...

    Due to the lack of a New Year celebration hangover, I slept in a little late this morning and enjoyed the peace and quiet. Ah, but it can' last. I heard the distant echo's of a beckoning Pitts. I swear I kept hearing things like, "I'm cold...please put some clothes on me"! Along with...

    Thanks...covering cut down to 1/8" stripes. I use a 48" aluminum straight edge. Tape the covering down to my 60"x30" fiber board. Lay down the straight edge after I measure the required width, Hobby knife in hand and go to cutting.

    Wow! Nicely done. Very impressive and a great save from the very certain cold and icy clutches of the airplane grime reaper.

    Only half the fuse and tail feathers pin striped. Whew...1/8" stripes are a royal p.i.t.a. to cut and apply. Off to a little get together. Happiest and brightest New Year's wishes to all of you. Have an awesome time, but please everyone....be safe in all you do this last day of 2016.

    I unfortunately do not own one. Hey, send me yours for awhile. LOL... I may have to just get one. It seems I have the need for one more and more these days. Love what you are doing with your build by the way. Can't wait to see it with some covering and paint work. Bet it will be awesome.
