RE: Andy Sheber S2A build

Got my ribs to the point where I will be selecting which ones will go where. Right now they are all the same. My smallest router bit was 1/4" and my spars are all 1/4" thick so it was too close for...

RE: Andy Sheber S2A build

Finally started cutting wing ribs, I know there are some in the middle that need to be trimmed to allow for the center section sheeting. I wanted to start with all of them the same then cut from...

RE: Andy Sheber S2A build

Well, Robert I don't think I'm going for a particular plane. I do want to make a very scale model and don't mind mixing and matching different methods used on different airplanes. The documentation...

RE: Andy Sheber S2A build

I will in no way be as fast as you Robert. But you will see some similar techniques. I've picked up some new ones following your build.

RE: Andy Sheber Pitts s1s

Cutting and cutting, here's a pic of a few formers for the fuselage. Went and picked up a hardly used scroll saw to do the inside cuts, very good purchase! Been slowly working on the wing ribs and...

RE: Andy Sheber Pitts s1s

Well it's not a real one but I'm planning on doing something similar to this. I do know the cowling is split, was curious if you were planning on splitting yours. Well here is a real one ha!

RE: Andy Sheber Pitts s1s

I'm cutting 5/8" particle board to form the laminations on the empennage. I ordered 2 sets of plans just so I could cut one up for the forms and still have one set fully intact. I bought this glue to...
