Default RE: Sun Ray biplane


ORIGINAL: aphexian

Looking great! If only my hand-made parts would ever look that immaculate, haha. I'll keep checking back to see your progress in the hopes that it'll get me off my duff to attempt my own build. The Sun Ray is just quirky enough to be my kind of model. Good luck with the build, not that you'll need it seeing the quality of your workmanship this far. Take care. -Mitchell

Thanks! The parts are slightly oversize after I cut them with my Dremel scroll saw. Then I carefully sand them to match the plan. I used a straight edge and an xacto knife to cut the fuselage sides. Luckily so far I only messed up one part. I incorrectly cut bulkhead # 3. I didn't notice it should have an angle at the top.

Today I'm going to the hobby shop for a few misc supplies including an engine mount and spinner.

I hope you decide to build a Sun Ray too!
