Sport The Kool Kanary (Giant Hot Kanary)

[Pilot_Tony]

I have a Quadra Q35 on mine. I think anything around the 30-35cc range would be fine.

Ok thanks for the reply. Any more progress on your bipe lately?

Not a lot, just filling and sanding getting it ready to cover. But it's been slow the last few days as the temperature hasn't gotten above 5 degrees for a week lol.

It's supposed to warm up the end of the week so I might get to start covering over the weekend.

I hear that, been the same here in PA. Is there anyway that I can ask a few build questions off board? Not sure how private messaging works on this site.

Hey @Bipeguy03,

Your big Kanary looks AWESOME. I cannot wait to see you add some covering.

Hey @Pilot_Tony,

Push the "IN BOX" button on the upper right end of the red border near the top of the page next to "ALERTS". Then push the button that says "START A CONVERSATION". when you do that, put the user name of the person you want to converse with and type what you want in the box below. Then send it. That's all there is to it.

Feel free to ask any questions you have here. I'll do my best to answer them

I don't really like to give out my personal contact info much.

The Kanary has been sanded, filled, sanded, filled, sanded, filled, sanded........ I don't think I have any fingerprints left!!

But tonight I got the shop cleaned, and vacuumed. I vacuumed all the dust and loose chunks of putty out the fuse and wings. Tomorrow after I wipe it down with a tack rag it will be ready to start slinging dope

I've got a pretty a pretty good buzz but the airframe has been doped with Nitrate

Probably going to be Snowed in this weekend so it'll be a good time to start gluing down fabric.

 

[Bipeguy03]

Three coats of nitrate on the whole airframe.

Tomorrow I start gluing Koverall down

Looks great BG03. Could you be persuaded to pull a cowl and set of wheel pants from your grandad's moulds for me? I would of course pay for your materials and time.

Thanks,
Tony

Just getting caught up on all the latest progress with all the threads. I have to say that is (as usual) a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. Nicely done....
