    Post'em....Old planes you miss having

    That is an "AMAZING" looking plane. I would miss it too. It's funny you started this thread. I was just thinking about that very thing. @Snoopy1 brought back a memory (Thank you) from so many years ago and I had thought about starting a "Your Old Love Affair Planes" thread. Of course I don't...

    Actually what I was referring to and did not make real clear, (I am sorry I didn't explain myself better) is the F1, F2 and F3 formers at the top where the balsa longeron is glued under the laser cut lite ply longeron. According to the manual which maybe I misunderstood, it calls for 1/4" x 1/4"...

    A little more work on the canopy before I call it a night. I looked at a "LOT" of planes on 2wings.com tonight to get an idea of the canopy/hatch area. I may need to adjust the radius and the overall length, but I think the arc is pretty close.

    Thanks Brett. I really am enjoying this build. Just a couple of things that just don't seem right. But I am working through them. It makes a guy stop and think things through. Not like the die cut kits from back in the eons. Those were just way too easy. LOL And you're so right. To actually...

    I decided to change things up a bit today. I've been wanting to get the canopy/hatch area sheeted so that is what I attacked this morning. I'm a little concerned about that particular area. According to the manual, what I am seeing with the eye and from photos of @Wacobipe and @Maxwell1945...

    Thanks guys... I appreciate the supportive comments. Truthfully this Pitts has been like a drug. I can't seem to pull myself away from it. I'm enjoying doing this build as I'm starting to realize, there is still a little magic remaining in these hands. I keep remembering little things that I...

    Tom is finally starting the build on his 50% that will sport the Kolm 240cc quad. What a beast!! Although not complete, I'll add a "pre-lude" photo or two of the Pitts presently being built.

    Another day and a little more accomplished on the Pitts. I mentioned earlier that I did not want to use balsa blocks aft of F7 to the trailing edge of the fin post. So that was my direction today. I probably should have re-thought that decision. Anyway, I started removing the left side 1/4" x...

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Been there too. Just really sucks when you have such a nice covering job and one little spot just breaks your heart.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    That is such a nasty spot it seems. A little trick I discovered is slicing laterally through the covering about an inch long. It helps release the gas pocket that occurs when ting to iron it back down. Then a tiny same colored covering patch strategically placed over the slice and wa-laa.
