Cal-grafx replicated the decal sheets that came with the kit.  The large "N numbers" are conventional slide-off decals with very thin black outlines on the white figures.  See photo below.  All of the other graphics are white vinyl with very agressive adhesive.  I'm sure Cal-grafx can provide other features if you want and will pay for them.

Nice looking model! I'm surely going to check them out. 

Did you use the aileron plastic "covers" that came in the kit?  I"m still tring to decide if I want to use those corrogations or try something else. Yours looks pretty good!

Thaks for your infol.

Joe

Yes, I did use the plastic aileron covers that came with the kit.  I searched for the SIG plastic corrugated sheet suggested in this forum, but could not find them.  The plastic parts were a bit of a pain to blend and fill to achieve smooth edges with the balsa, but they turned out pretty nice.

Thanks Jim,

I had suspected that would be a problem (blending them to the surface).  How did you attach  them? CA? Had you applied any type of prep to the balsa before adding the plastic?  I know. A lot of questions, but it all helps to avoid any mistakes that may have been made before by someone else.

I used medium CA to attach the aileron covers to the balsa sheeting.  I did not use any prep on the balsa.  They seem to be securely bonded in place.  I did not attempt to inset them into the balsa, but simply sanded both the leading and trailing edges to a bevel, then filled the open ends of the corrugations with lite filler.

Check for the Pepino Waco thread in the scratch building forum. There is alot of info you will be interested in. There are more errors on the plans than I can remember. I had to draw new ribs for mine and all 4 panels are different sizes on the plans. Your better off picking a top and bottom panel and building both sides from that. The left and right side of the stab/elevator and not symetrical and the top view of the fuse is crooked. The stringer notches are in the wrong location and will result in a wavy look thru the covering material. That is just a start.

You can correct all these problems but I suggest you check everything before cutting any wood.
Later!!
Anthony

I'm still getting emails, but I can't get into this site through the email links. I wish they would fix this Da_n problem!

I have some photos I want to post, but I'm not even going to try until it's fixed.

As far as linking thru e-mails I do not know as I never follow the e-mail links, I have links for the different forums saved in my favorites and I just go thru the main menu. Some threads like this one get so much traffic it will fill your inbox. When a thread starts getting that busy I remove my subscription to stop the mails and I just stop in each day and check for new post.

Status: offline 		When I got home yesterday, I had just a little mowing left to do. Finished that, and took a plane out of the shop and went flying. Dead calm on the ground, but 100 feet up, it was gusty as all get out. Still a windy day flying is better than a calm day sitting on yer arse. Hopefully everyone is doing okay. Sorry about the site problems, don't know what's up with that.

Status: offline 		Bill, Hope you had a good day of flying. I have been pressing RCU for a fix on the site problem. What I got so far is that the url's are changing on there own, the url that is coming up for our forum is actually a url for a dura trax car forum on rcu. The tech I have been in contact has told me the problem has been given to the IT people, so hopefully the problem will eventually be solved, my suggestion would be to get as many brothers to place a trouble ticket in with rcu, that may light a fire under some butts. If they don't get trouble tickets they don't know whats going on. The squeeky wheel gets the oil all the time. George

anyone with an inkjet can use a on line tiling service

http://www.lucubration.com/pdf-tile-printer

to use their inkjet to print off a copy and the patterns that accompany the fifth scale can be reduced for the the sixth scale.

Greg, who works this dept. has a new copier that does the enlargements without distorsions. both dan and i have the 1/4 90in. wingspan blowup of which he is building as we speak and i also have a set blown to 1/3 scale about 122in. wingspan for a future project.

Chris,

Do you recall, offhand, what the charge was for the "blown up" plans? I have the 1/6 plans I snagged off the internet somewhere long ago, as well as the 1/5 scale information and plans I snagged off the MOY site long ago...I also have a 1/5 scale PICA Kit yet to build, but am very interested in building a 1/4 or 1/3 scale version down the road...Thanks in advance for the info!

George, As i recall they printed both a 1/4 and a 1/3 scale copy plus all the patterns and Dan Hudson's wing modification ribs, if i remember correctly for 135.00 shipping included. They were rolled and in a tube. Please keep in mind it takes time for these plans to be printed due to the size if you order have patience. Make sure you tell Greg you want the patterns and Dan's rib mods. sometimes they forget.
Good Luck and happy scratch building.

Status: offline 		Hi everyone, I have a question. As written on my WACO SRE thread:

The brackets have been completed and the left N-strut has now also been made. That took some time as everything had to been measured, checked and re-checked etc. But it fits beautifully.
I can now go ahead and design/make the flying wires (or are they landing wires?). Does anyone happen to know the thickness and width of the full-scale ones?

I was thinking of making them out of a firm material, such as carbonfibre rods, which could then be fixed at one end and then the other end could simply be pushed into a piece of fuel tubing in the wing to hold it in place...

Check out this site: http://www.mickreevesmodels.co.uk/~mickreev/Bipes/p2bipe.html  They hae the flat wire is several sizes for your wires, as well as the fork ends for attachment.  Some of the items may be hard to find, so look over the sie well.
