Embarking on this project I thought I might as well share it with the world, hoping to get some comments, hint and tips and (hopefully) praise
I'm building a Tiger Moth from plans found on the web. They're free, at least they're available to download, I really tried to track down whoever made them in the first place but I haven't been able to.
First off, the plans were printed, and I went out and bought a scroll saw. I'm building this thing in my shed on the lawn. I have no clue how to actually do some of the final fittings seeing as the space isn't quite enough to fit the entire wing span on the workbench. Also, being a geek I've installed a computer here for documentation and music purposes.
I've cut the ribs and half-ribs and I'm just about to start on the top wing, as that's the easiest one without any control surfaces. Wood was ordered form Heerdegen Balsaholz in Germany, and I've been very pleased with the quality so far. The plans doesn't always say what wood is being used so I'm making up as I go.
Attached are some photos of current progress. I'll do my best to update this regularly - and yelling at me to do it will improve on update speed. I'll really try to make this a thread that I myself would have loved to read.
