RE: scratch built biplane

I draw my own plans and kind of design and build as I go so I don't really run into that problem. However, for the airfoil shape I used Compufoil to print the shape on regular paper. I then cut it...

RE: scratch built biplane

Well I didn't like the way the first covering job turned out so I went with a transparent blue and white. Then I learned the hard way about getting epoxy into the hinge points. After that I decided...

RE: scratch built biplane

The fuselage is basically done except for a few minor details. I will be moving on to the wings soon. I am using Monokote. I have gone through a lot of it so far just to get the turtle deck right. I...

RE: scratch built biplane

I have begun covering it using transparent blue and opaque cream Monokote. It will mostly be blue except for the cowl, landing gear farings, rudder, and wing leading edges.

RE: scratch built biplane

pretty much finished with the airframe. just trying to decide what color(s) to cover it in. I will probably use a combination of transparent and solid film.

RE: Any cool original designs out there? Lets see some pictures?
