Cockpit coaming:
Hi guys,
A friend of mine recently finished a beautifully donew Balsa USA 1/3 scale SE-5a. His details are jaw dropping. I told him obout our forum here and he has been following it. A month or so ago, I asked about how you folks did your cockpit coamings and I gat a few good ideas. My friend Dick sent me a few photos os how he did it on his SE-5. I had a few questions, and I post them and his response. This is pretty good stuff, and I"m sure it will help someone else later.
Hi Joe -
Have been following your (and others) build progress on your ‘waco brothers’ web site. Noted some recent dialogue that pertained to cockpit combing and thought my experience doing it on my se5a might be of interest to some who may have not yet done theirs.
These are pixs I took during the time I did mine and I’d be happy to share them along with the steps involved (in a separate email to you) should you think they would be interested. I used thin,soft pigskin leather. Whole process was relatively easy and straight forward.. encountered no problems.
Don’t want to butt in on the web site and thought I pass it by you. Enjoying everyone’s progress and comments. Levona’s comments to you about all the time you spend building sounds like what I heard during my se5a build [img]cid:2EEC7FCB7D48412ABF09735DA1A8D150@AdminHP[/img]
Anxious to see yours...
