Hey Bob,
Having access to a laser is great. The one I will be using belongs to a friend of mine that started his own sheet metal company. The laser has a 96” x 48” table and 2500 watts. The laser can cut up to 3/16 metal. If you do a little looking in your local neighborhood you will probably fine a precision sheet metal company that has one. Smaller the company the more likely they will let get some time on it.
Mark

Ok lets do some catch-up on what’s been going on since I last posted. The hinging of the rudder is the same as the elevator. There is a spacer added on and then a brass hinge will added to hold pressure against the spacer. There are three of these hinges that will hold the rudder to the fin.

The lower hinging post of the fuselage has fiberglass wrapped around the top and bottom runs. There are two o-rings that will keep tension on the tailskid. The two o-rings are held in place by the two spring steel rods. The rods are slightly tucked into the fuselage at the top and bottom then glued in place with epoxy. At the middle area the tail post is notch away to allow the rods to sit in a little. The rods are glued and then wrapped with a Kevlar thread to add a little more strength in that area. The turtle deck is extended onto the stab to the main spar.

Randy,
Did you make up your gauges or did you buy them? with those nice trims around them?

Hi Mark,

The gauge faces and needles are from Arizona Models....I think I bought the stock British WWI panel....the aluminum bezels are homemade from annealed litho plate..They were shaped using brass tubing as the form...they have a seam on the sides so the size could be adjusted to fit.

It was this kit that I ordered, 1/4 scale ....

......I think the screws are either small button head screws from the hobby shop or they are some from Mick Reeves...

Every thing on the dash was scratch built. The instrument faces were printed on my computer. Mick Reeves instruments were white with black letters and didn't look right. So I made an inverse of them. The bezels etc are cast using one I made of styrene for the mold.. The other stuff is either cast or brass. The compass is made of wood.

Mark.

I don't know if you are past this point yet, but you mentioned that you will re-work the muffler. Don't forget the Bob C in the club has offered welding services to us members.

nice work, I can't wait to see it fly.

Bob,
Thanks for the info on gauges; I’m still up in the air on what I’m going to do on the gauges. I think I will be drawing up some of the faces and them have them lasered out with the rest of the parts I’m making.
Mark

Laser sounds pretty good. Arizona Models sells laser etched gages with their instrument sets. I found it was as easy this time around to print mine on quality photo paper and glue on the needles. Since I only had 3 instruments making the bezels was pretty simple out of styrene.

I’mmmm Back….
Ok back to building had to stop and take care of birthday week for the wife. I don’t really know how it went from one day to a week. But I have to keep her happy so I can acquire more flying and non-flying machines.

I have been doing some work in the backgrounds since I last posted. I have been working on the first round of part that I dropped off to be lasered a few days ago. They should be done on Saturday… maybe… tonight we are getting 6-10 inches of snow. I have posted a PDF of the flat pattern of the parts that I’m having made. I have also added a PDF of the parts as there being used. The view with the nuts and bolts, are the wing supports holders the other view is for the landing gear.

With the laser parts getting done soon I will be able to finish of the wing support. I talked to the people at RC Showcase and changed my engine order from the Roto25 to the Roto35Vi. The 35 is ½ pound heaver and has a little bit more power. The Roto35Vi was in stock and should have shipped today so I will be installing the firewall and engine soon so I can move forward with the front of the fuse.

I have been playing a little with the gauges and think I have them figured out. If you look at the attachment in the last post you can see the bezels that I’m having made. I have some black and white gauges that I will be trying to use and see how they turn out for the first try.
