Default RE: Pulsar Biplane Build

I'll revive this thread. Here is my Pulsar project. A buddy of mine got a bunch of Pulsars from what was left of Cass and one went to me. I got a new/bare fiberglass fuse along with a pair of covered wings and a donor fuse that had stabs. Basically a Pulsar mix and match.

I cut apart the donor fuse and pulled out the stabs and un-covered the wings I got. I guess some guys did not bother with the round tips as they did not have them. I, however, think the plane needs them (at least from a aesthetic standpoint) so I cut my own. I still need to sheet these over.

I have glassed the stabs and am working toward glassing the wings. I plan on painting this bird and entering it at the WRAM static display.

Power will be a YS 63.

I have cut CyA hinges for the stabs; not sure what I want to hinge the ailerons with. I don't like the exposed portion of the Robart hinges as per the plans, I may just double bevel the ailerons and go with CyA hinges there too.
