John, Thanks the pics will be vary helpful with my problem I haven't glued that piece in yet I wont to be sure it's right first.

The aluminum I used came from my local news paper shop I cant remember what its called they use it in printing news papers some how. I buy it used for a buck a piece. It's the same size as a news paper page. Its vary light the piece in the pic is 0.5 oz the same size 3/32 balsa is 0.2 oz (according to my scale)
The hardest thing was cutting the gig (in the pic) this is the forth one I cut. Doing the math was easy I found it on the thread somewhere about 3/8 spacing transferring that to a piece of wood however was not so easy . I couldn't have done it with out a table saw. After the gig was cut I clamped the aluminum on one end and with a piece of wire and my 13 oz hammer I went to pounding in the saw groves one at a time. Its not a perfect system but I really like the way it looks.
The piece in the pic is just a test piece If any one would like to see it first hand I will be happy to mail it to you to get your opinion. There are still some bugs to work out but I think it will work and look good when finished.

That stuff is called lithoplate, and it should work out well for your application. The aileron piece is the correct shape, so you will need to shape the ribs and the spar to match. If you think that this is a bear, wait until you have to shape the leading edge tip blocks....

Just read my signature line at the bottom of the post. With this type of model, it is a true statement. You will need to sand off everything that does not look like a WACO YMF.

I do not know yet if demand will warrant a second printing of the current shirt/colors. That is up to the Brotherhood.

It is not feasible or cost effective to produce less than 6 dozen screenprinted shirts. On the other hand, once embriodery designs (approx.$500.00 to digitize) are on file at the supplier, small quanities of embriodered pieces are no problem.

Out of 98 shirts printed I only have some XXL tees and a few Large tees on hand now.

Thanks again for all your comments and support!

These 'earthy colors' on neutral shirts will age gracefully. I'm wearing mine as I write this. Enjoy them and stay tuned.

Status: offline 		Too bad we can't all get together for a group photo, all wearing our new shirts.


I had an interesting conversation today with a guy named Aaron Silk; he is the current owner of Ikon N'West. They sell a 1/5 scale UPF (as well as a Model 10 and a Taperwing). I've heard both good and bad about Ikon over the last year, and was sort of hesitant to try dealing with them. Aaron has a full-time job with one of the railroads in Washington State, maintaining and repairing crossing gates, so he stays pretty busy. One of the things I've heard about Ikon is their failure to return calls, etc, but Aaron called me today (I was at work) and I returned the call this evening. The time difference between here and there and his work schedule makes convenient times to call difficult for him.

He said he has purchased a laser cutter and is gradually revising the kits and will eventually have all of them laser cut. Fortunately for me, the UPF-7 is a recent conversion to laser cutting. I asked him about the scale fidelity; he told me that the plans designer was the former owner of Ikon, and had been a design engineer for Boeing. I think I can take that to mean that the plans should be true to scale. he orders his balsa from Balsa USA, so that speaks for the wood quality. He said that there are several being built right now by customers, and the ones he's seen completed look very good. I am going to order a kit for the UPF this week; he said it should take two to three weeks for him to get it cut and shipped to me. This should make a great companion piece to my UMF.

Too bad we can't all get together for a group photo, all wearing our new shirts.

I had an interesting conversation today with a guy named Aaron Silk; he is the current owner of Ikon N'West.



I bought an Ikon N'West 1/4 scale kit for a Beaver/Otter (senior moment) but it's at the back of a heap of "TO DO's". I was rather disappointed to find that there were numerous vacuum moldings to give the model its shape. They were very flimsy and that's why it's at the bottom of the pile. If you are happy with that, go ahead; me I have an attitude towards vacuum moldings, it probably goes together with my careless model storage and poor flying skills.

About a group shot complete with T shirts, how I wish. I would love to see Creve Coeur and Oskosh etc, now I can afford the trip I couldn't survive the flight. All the best to the Brotherhood.

Status: offline 		Hi Jim, yes, I used white glue in a syringe. I just went for it after the panels were put on and sanded a bit I used a felt marker again and just started putting on dots. When I started with the syringe I had a second change to get it better. I am using the Klass Kote products, very nice so far. I mixed the primer using white fast and their thinner with a 1:1:1 ratio. The high solids provided an excellent build up and really good coverage.

Yeah, it's exciting when it finally starts looking like an airplane. Yours is looking very good, Hughes. I have a problem at this stage with wanting to hurry, sort of like seeing light at the end of the tunnel; you know it's close, and want to see it fly. I'll actually make myself quit working on it for a few days or a week to "curb the enthusiasm".

Old Git---How long ago did you buy the Ikon kit? The ownership changed hands a couple of years ago, and he's been trying to upgrade stuff. I forgot to ask him about "round pieces" like cowl and wheelpants, the things you usually get that are plastic or fiberglass. If they turn out to be vacuum formed stuff, I'll just use the pieces as molds and make fiberglass copies. I can't think of many pieces in the UPF that would be made from 'glass, plastic, etc, except for the cowl and pants that can't be made of wood. I never seem to use all the stuff in a kit "as is" anyway; I prefer to modify or replace some things that I feel can be improved on, even if it does raise the cost of building. For instance, on the UMF arf I re-did, I built new cabane and interplane struts, using carbon fiber tubing and balsa. This made them smaller in diameter and much stronger. I plan to do the same on the UPF and replace the piano wire included in the kit. I also made a deal with Aaron (Ikon owner) to omit the main gear (also piano wire) completely, for a reduced kit cost, as I plan to make an aluminum gear for it. I sent a money order this morning, now comes the wait to see if I get the service and if it is worth it.
