Dan, you learned another new trick from an old dog. That is the look that I was talking about. I do think that we are going to need to do just a little more sanding to get the outboard rib profile just right though.

Bill,

I love learning those new tricks your right about a little more sanding I didn’t use a rear spar in this test wing tip so I’m going to do another one. What a huge difference the changes make in the appearance of the wing tips. Keep those tip coming LOL.

John,

I would also like to thank you for your help and pictures you have provided. They have been a huge help.

Thank's Chris. Looking good there, before you know it you'll be done.

acerc

Here's the pilot. Still more to do, later

acerc

What's up guy's? No advice on lowering the stab for landing?

Stickbuilder

Once you have it trimmed, I don't think I'd mess with it. Most accidents occur when in transition from ground to flight, or from flight to ground. Why add a wild card?

On your pilot, what size is he? He looks a tad small, unless you have a dwarf flying the plane.

Bill, Waco Brother #1

acerc

Thank's Bill, I think I'll take that advice. He is a 1/5 scale. It does look small in the pics.

tmac48

acerc, How many flying and landing wires have you ? I can only count 4 per side , I thought there ought to be 5 per side.
Regards tmac.

My Feedback: (35)

Brothers, I know its early but thinking about an engine. I fly mostly nitro. I presently have a four stroke saito 100, An Os 120 four stroke. An OS BGX 1 3500 two stroke. All new, never mounted. I like the 120, but I think I need a little bit more. Thinking about a Saito 150 or 180 Don't know, any advice would help. Thanks George ( building the 1/5 scale )

Stickbuilder

George,

The 120 will be just fine. I have flown this model on everything from a Super Tigre .75 up to an OS 160, and most everything in between. Heck, I've even flown one on a Maloney 125. Go for the 120.

Bill, Waco Brother #1

rccrasher65

My Feedback: (35)

Bill thanks so much for the advice. I will use the 120. I have a question? on the rib templates there are numbers of how many to cut . Is that number for both wings or just one. thanks george

acerc

tmac you are correct. I did not do the double at the rear. I don't know why, just didn't

Stickbuilder

The number required on the templates are the total required for the airplane.

Bill & all

Here’s the center section framed up and ready to sheet the top. Any one see any thing I’ve missed? Hate to glue the sheeting on and then think of something I forgot. I can tell doing the wing this way is going to save a ton of sanding.

Stickbuilder

Dan,
I'd like to see you build up the center rib back to the spar. That way when you place the dowel into the wing center structure, you will have some support for it. I'd use ply there. Just a suggestion.

Bill, Waco Brother #1

acerc

Looking good Dan.
Got some more done myself. The windscreen and dash, I must confess it's from the Great Planes waco. Stand ten feet off close one eye and it look's good.

Hey Robert, Looks ok from West Mifflin Pa. Take your time,you been building for a long time, enjoy the flying time for now. George

ceije

errol,
thanks for the kind words, i just feel like i take one step forward and two back. have you started thinking about flying wires i'm looking at aeroscale for a set they seem to be a good choice for scale.
if you haven't already measured please keep me in mind i would like to compair notes with you. i would hate to spend that much and then not be right. two heads are better then one i think in this case.
the barth parts sheet says 10 wires at 800mm is that just wire lenght or mounting point to mounting point.
thanks,
chris melhus ceije 196
