Managed to finish the tail post clamp and rudder arms. Think I may split the cowl into three pieces next.View attachment 109152

TonyHallo
Do you make the landing gears and tailwheel for the 1/3 scale to sell or know where I can get them. I'm also interested in the Canopy and Cowl. Thanks so much.

No I don't. Just my hobby. The cowl and canopy are available from Don Carlson at RCaiir@gmail.com, he has a kit as well. Welcome aboard!

This tail wheel was available years ago, might look on Ebay. It truly is a thing of beauty. You might look at these http://www.ohio-superstar.com/spring-style-tail-wheels/sg68gnf1jaerwt7rg4w11v5ij6s6m8

Working on the rudder pull-pull, hinge pins and the elevator control linkage. Found a photo of the full scale part on line. Need to come up with two clevises for the rudder cables, right thinking of forming them from copper sheet.

 

[TonyHallo]

The copper sheet was too thin for my liking so used .050" thick brass sheet. Got to use the Balsa USA Nicopress tool as well that I picked up at Toledo this past year. Once the rudder cable runs are finalized can finish up the elevator linkage
