Thanks for the response.
I was thinking on a closed loop system as the top wing only has the ailerons. It is still a ways down the road in my build, but I do like to think ahead.

I really enjoy looking at my planes 'in the bones'. So much so I almost hate to cover 'em. In fact a few years back when I was getting ready to move back to the US, I filled a month building a Herr Engineering J-3 Cub which I left uncovered (except for the rudder/vetical stab), stained and it hangs over my desk. I generally take it out when we do a seminar to a willing group and folks really get a kick out of seeing the 'skeleton' along with some of our finished models.

And a picture of a real one (or a 1:1 model) It lices in the Boeing Museum in Seattle....

Not a model, but still an inspiration:-)

Sweeet! Sadly, there really isn't a "bare-bones" state for my Albatros CI (since the fuselage is wood sheeted). But I suppose I could do a "bare-wings" shot!

Teus

Not finished, but already lots of bare-bones. [8D] My Proctor Fokker E.III in progress.

edit: Added more bones (the right wing)

Looks like a full-scale waiting in the Fokker factory to be covered!

Looks lovely Teus!

Got some 1:1 Strutter bare bones here for you Don:

Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser and 1926 RRG Prufling. The PA-12 is wired for lights and has a tow release. The Prufling has closed loop controls operated via rudder pedals and joystick. The servos drive the cockpit controls.

My 1/4 scale Siemens Schuckert D1. Based on the Scratch-A-Plane Nieuport 17 plans. Photo from our club's 2005 Mall Show. (Holy cow, 2005! [X(] )



Hopefully, in about 5-6 weeks my 1/4 Albatros DIII will make similar debut.

My (aprox 1/5 scale) Fokker EIV. Kit bashed from the BUSA EIII (90) kit.



Both the SSWD1 and EIV are strictly fun scale.

Here's my 1/6 scale DR.I in her bones.

Teus

That first shot.......................

Just beautiful, perfect angle. And of course a beautiful model.

Just a question Hammered; Did you use one of my redraws for your compass? It's looking perfect [8D]

Teus

As a matter of fact, I did. Pretty sure the tach is yours also. Thank you.

Canuck1

The metal work on your DR1 looks awesome.
Makes mine look pretty sad.

Nice plane, looks great

Teus

Good to see that the faceplates are used where they are meant for in a very proper way [8D]

How did you make the housing for the compass?

Well you said you wanted to see one in the bones?
