    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Oh hey...thank you a bunch. That would have been on the agenda for this weekend. I'm thinking it may be a good idea considering I'll have a little more nose weight up front.

    Thanks Van. You and Brett are definitely keeping me in line on this build. :way_to_go: Pretty!! But then I like Orange and Blue. Just thought I would give you all a quick update on the Pitts. I've had to pull off of it for a few days. After doing a count on remaining balsa sheets and a few...

    THAT'S IT!!!!! That is exactly what I was looking for. Ya know? There is something to be said for evil minds thinking alike. That is exactly what I had pictured in my head. Or something close to it. Now I know I am not crazy. LOL. Thank you, thank you...THANK YOU Van.

    A favor please @Wacobipe and @Maxwell1945 if you both wouldn't mind? It won't be too long before I start sheeting the fuse and I am a little lost what should be done regarding the bottom of the fuse. Certainly I will sheet around the lower wing and down to the bottom of the can tunnel. Wondering...

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Hey David, thanks for your suggestion. Truth be known, I actually considered using ply and then cutting "lightening" holes in it. Two reasons I chose the balsa over the ply is, one: when balsa structure comes together at a glue joint, it is nearly as strong as ply. I am usually quite anal how my...

    Sweetness....thanks so much. I was hoping (and meant to ask if you would mind) you post a photo of the wing tip. I really appreciate it. I am going to go back and sand a little more radius before moving on to the next wingtip.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    You really must share your technique of applying the wax. Never used it so don't know what the advantages are.

    Well now I have gone and done it. I conjured up a recipe for scratching together some wing tips for the Pitts. Mmmm....tasty. LOL. Seriously, The weather here has been phenomenally perfect and I should have been flying. Can you all believe it? Sunny clear blue skies, High 60's and 2 mph winds...

    Thank you... it's greatly appreciated. I totally get needing the break. Glad you had the opportunity to do so. I will gladly take time to give you my feedback on the road blocks I ran into. Granted, typically a builder "should" have at least an idea of how to proceed with certain building...

    Aerobeez 45% Extra 300 assembly

    My belief on the whole carbon back plate/carbon prop theory is probably different than most. It all revolves around heat and compression release. Excessive heat build up allows the carbon backplate to become soft, thereby allowing compression release of the prop bolts. I attempted the carbon set...

    Thank you. I sure hope it comes out looking as good as I want it to. I know once I make it to the covering stage, it will all be down hill from there.

    One and all, very nice. Just so happens the Aerotech Edge is sporting the exact colors that I would like to use on the Pitts.
