I have to ask, what does C-160 engine covers have to do with my C-130 build?

Place them into an ad within the RCU Market. You will probably get more responses.

Status: offline 		Rollie / Pilot727,

I dont want to come across as rude, but C-160 parts have nothing to do with a C-130. However, here are many C-160's being built within the twin engine forum. Now if they were able to be fit on my project, then I'm all for it. POST IT!!

The only reason I made my comment was because in the past, I tried to do the same thing you are doing (sell something) and I was told not to do it with this forum. I tried to tell everyone about a pair of .52 4-strokes I had available. I listed them in the RCU market, and sold within a week.

No harm, no foul.

Mike

Status: offline 		i went flying the other day and took the landing gear off of my plane a giles 202, i sure wished that i could do what you guys can do specially to build a kit from scratch or repair an arf i am just not a carpenter at all and have no idea where to start i wished they held classes on building in the area, rollie

Status: offline 		You never quite grasp the size of a project until the fuselage starts coming together. This is going to be a monster!

As for your Giles, just peel back the monocote and see what needs repaired. Its easier than you think. It's ironic that I spend more time building, and rarely seem to get out and fly my projects. Oh well, guess one day I'll have enough planes in my fleet. Till then, I'm going to be a building fool

Status: offline 		There is nothing more exciting to me to watch a builder in aciton, it is a skill, the giles had trouble with the landing gear and my friend fixed it really nice another guy with the same problem took the composite landing gear out and put in a block and put his landing gear on that way and it turned out nice, hey maybe i will take a look, your so right many guys i know that build do more building them flying, but when you do get to fly it is something very special to your heart all that hard work, i will have to check with you mike to see how you are comming with it, how long will it take you to build a plane of that size, rollie

Status: offline 		This is the start of my next project, a Palmer plans 132" C-130. The fuselage frames up relatively quick with only a few headaches. As I have found, then plans are acurate only to a point. For anyone building this, plan about three steps ahead to make sure all the subsequent parts will fit. I found out the hard way as I posted a couple days ago. Lucky for me, it was an easy fix.

*****As a reminder, use 1/4x3/8 on the lower fuse box frame, not the 1/4x1/2 the plans call for.*****

Also, at first glance, the PCK package is really nice. As I begin building, it's lacking several parts or they are not the correct size(balsa). For instance, I dont have enough 1/32 sheeting for the fuselage formers 14&15. The diagonal braces included were 1/8x1/4 instead of the 1/4x1/4 the plans call for. I'm sure there will be more, but it definately looks like a difficult plan to cut all the pieces.

As with my Hawkeye build I will document most of my progress. My Hawkeye is currently done and awaiting prime and paint. I will probably wait until it warms up in the spring to paint it.

More to follow...

Mike

Man put the air brakes on brother, I'm still stuck in Fla. I can't even touch the balsa!! I have redesigned the flap hinges though on my cad and think I've got a good grasp of back then down for the fowlers. I'll send you a set to look at and let me know what you think. I aggree about the looking ahead, I've been reading and reading Dan's plans and they make you think. So I will be reading ahead and checking with you on what you've built and where you're at with the process. I am still considering metal inwing tanks.

BRAKES???? Oh no, I am enjoying my vacation time wisely. Come early January, I will again be on the road traveling. I have to get as much done now, because my build time will be very limited soon. I wont start on the wing for a couple weeks. So I'll have plenty of time to see your fowler flap ideas. I havent looked yet, but I hope these plans detail the wings WITH wing tubes.

I plan on starting on the rear cargo doors tomorrow. I'm hoping to have all the control arms cutout and drilled tonight. (Arm A, B and C)

Would you be surprised if I told you the pictures are 3 days worth of work? The biggest thing to watch is the positioning of the fuselage side formers. So far everything is square and everything has gone together quite nicely. I started using magnets during my build. I have two large steel sheets under my plans. They are great for holding everything in place as I glue. You just have to watch out not to glue the magnets to the balsa.

I am leaving the gear install alone for now, until I get some more funding to buy the century retracts. Do you have any plans to build your own gear? I was doing some comparisons are my LHS yesterday. I was matching up engines with the firewalls PCK's supplied. If I go with the OS-70FL (all aluminum version) it will be concealed within the cowl. I'm not sure if I will go with scale flyable props on this one like my Hawkeye. I might just go with 2-bladed props and the twin(quad)-sync module.

Mike
