rcflyer35, Your doing a great job on your straight tail conversion. I can't wait to see it finished. Now if you could just find a minature Franklin 6 banger to put in her, now that would be sweet......................   Keep up the good work.

Status: offline 		Thanx  sj3cub the conversion is coming along fine. I reluctantly had to Cut The Cowl for my 90ST to clear inside. But I'll tell you when TF made the Cowl they sure didn't take any mesurments for the Mold. I had to cut off 3/4in. of the back to get it to fit on the Cowl Ring. Also it was very hard to put together. I think I'll end up buying the Cessna 182 set from Fiberglass Spec. Again thanx.

Status: offline 		The Weather here this year is the best I've seen since we came up here in 1970. May, June and July have been in the High 70s and 80s. We have been flying in the Morning and Late Afternoon. I'ts Great. At night I've been Sanding on the Cessna 182. Wow ti's got along way to go before Glassing. When you look at the surface it looks smooth but when I rub my fingers over where I've sanded I can feel the valley's and Hollows. I'm on my second tube of Glazing Puddy, Lots of work. Well time for bed so I can get up in the morning and "FLY".

Status: offline 		RCFlyer,

Thanks for directing me to this thread. It's been flying season here for about three months, so I haven't touched my Cessna. The wing is finished, and the bottom half of the fuse is done, so I'm in a great spot to do the conversion. It's something I've wanted to do for years, but never got around to it. Any chance you would share the drawings you made of the rudder and fuse bulkheads? I'm an extremely slow builder, and those would help me a lot.

Steve

Status: offline 		Sorry I didn't use any drawings I just did every thing by eyesite. I know thats not the convenional way of doing things but thats the way I work. The Fin and Rudder were cur at the Angle the Fin looked like the Picture of the 1956 Cessna. Example place the fin over the Plans in the Upright position and draw a Horizonale accross the Fin and Rudder. Thats where you Cut. Add a some strenthing insid the Fin and Rudder. I closed the base of the Fin and added two 1/4in. dowels to be inserted into a 1/8in. Ply Plate I'm making to be glued into the Fuselage foe added strength. I myself am Flying now and not doing much on the Model. When I do somthing on it I post it.

Great! Someone who builds just like I do!

Seriously, thanks for the tips. It'll probably be some time before I get back to it, but I'll keep watching and check in occsaionally.
Last year, I took some good digital photos from all angles. What I've done in the past is set up a laptop projector, project the side view on top of the plans, and adjust the size until it looks about right. Then, tape some blank paper on the wall and trace the outline of the rudder. Fill in with structure that looks like airplane parts, and you're done.

Have a good season,
Steve
