All I wanted was my Neiuport 11 1/4 scale to fit in my Corolla.. Suddenly I have all kinds of things that are conflicting with my plans and instructions !

I wasn't so worried until I noticed the gaping error in the fuse .....

If your worried about the fuse gap,mask off one side(scotch tape or wax paper) put JB weld on the other, bolt together wipe off excess with alcohol,perfect fit.jeffo
JB weld is epoxy

We'll have to teach you how to read instructions.

I can fix your mistakes. Just sent the entire kit, with all accessories, to me.

Its good to see helpful advice and charity so early after ASKING FOR HELP ! hahahahhhah

I have an easy fix. Get a bigger car.

foodstick

There is no fun in that !

It sure has added a lot of part fabrication...

foodstick

I wanted the landing gear to be more shock absorbing.....

foodstick

I also worked on my scratch built gun mount/wing joiner...

Why not fill you gaps with thick balsa. Like having a thick center rib on the wings, and then a thick former glued to one side of the fuselage half. No body would ever know. I think it would be better to use would over glue to fill those gaps. Really, it should be no biggie.

foodstick

I am just kidding on the gap issue.... It is close enough for me. I just thought I would make a joke about building so many parts of this plane in halves...

Its been a lot of extra work... I wonder how far over weight it will be? All of my Balsa USA stuff has flown well when built heavy anyhow

foodstick

Well I don't claim it to be scale, but I am going to make it look interesting. I have some smaller button head screws to finish it with, I usually just put it together with servo screws first....

TomCrump

If it's "interesting", people will think it is scale.

Since I'm not a WWI afficienado, I certainly wouldn't know the difference.

foodstick

I have so many conflicting images from old pics,models,replicas,etc. I am not really sure what is right.. I can't quite figure out the way the hood and sides are stitched up front as well...

foodstick

Ive been busy .....

foodstick

Very very busy ......

Now, that's something to crow about !

foodstick

Its definitely the most airplane I have ever built in a month !

TomCrump

I'm sure that she'll fly well. Please keep us informed.

stevegauth30

Jeez, I find a good build to follow, and it's done. Whaaaa?

stevegauth30

Looks awesome by the way!

foodstick

Well its not much of a video.. but it HAS flown ! I REALLY need to add down thrust in the motor, wow it wanted to point straight up under high power...at first I thought I was a little tail heavy, but it behaved very well on low throttle landing approach.. I am happy

Dusk patrol 1 for the Nieuport 11...
