Hello..

I follow with interest, as your Blue Angel build. I am impressed with how clean and exactly this model is build.
I have in 1980 even built the Blue Angel and flown over 3 years, and was on the flight characteristics enthusiastic.
I do at the time model airplanes for the AEROFLY-Professional-Deluxe, and have the Blue Angel for the simulator completed last week.
Have fun and continue with the success.

Many greetings

Karl-Heinz

WOW Karl, that looks terrific!

Is it possible to get the AEROFLY sim file for the Blue Angel? I am getting the sim next week...

Thanks, Vasek

That is totally awesome!

Much better!

Are you planning on shooting clear coat after all the color?

I got some clear coat but after reading on RCU about problems with it discoloring I’m not sure if I’ll use it.

OK, screw up fixed!

Don’t you just love it when a plan comes together!

Hello Vasek

you can get now the Blue-Angel on RC-SIM.de

Thank you Karl!

I can't wait to see this plane finished! Everything seems to be moving smoothly, but unfortunately slowly . Here is a picture of my plane I took last Frieday, just don't get confused, it's not what you think it is, and to be honest I don't know the plane's name, maybe some of you could identify it, Anyways enjoy!

mob_z, it's a Bridi Dirty Birdy with a different style canopy. It's a very nice looking plane.

8178, your fuselage looks like one of those computer generated 3D models, it's so smooth and even. Flawless.

David

charly 1950, your blue angel is very nice, and on the simulator also.... thank you very much for sharing your work...

I am just building a Blue Angel at the moment.Would you know what size spinner fits that plane?

Phil

just checking in didnt see any sanding dust flying around fir a while...

This is the spinner that I'm using and is correct for the BA. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...12-b&search=Go

I’m making progress but can’t post any images right now. :-)

Thanks David. Everything always looks better in pictures.

Thanks 8178, i am building this plane without a set of plans.
I picked it up from another modeler.The fuse was 80% built,the canopy is missing(one on order from Carolina Aircraft,thanks Dan)and i have to cut a new set of wings.The one that came with the plane were bowed.
Anyone would have a tip and root rib tracing for the BA.

Thanks.Phil

heck, get dan to send the wing cores along with the canopy. btw, 4 words of comment on your project; photos, photos, photos, photos.. you get the picture. i've got a blue angel build starting very shortly, also.

david

By the time i get the cores to Canada they will cost me close to 90 dollars.
I can cut them here,i have the foam and a bow.Or i can get them cut from a cnc cutter if i download the wing profile from Profili
but i am not sure of the profile #NACA??
I'll try for the pics,just don't know how to upload them on this site.

Phil

A few pics.

hey, there you go. nice! thx. sorry mike, hijacking your thread.

david

Thanks very much for posting the images of your Blue Angel. It’s really interesting for me to see a real kit built Blue Angel and see how the kit parts look when they are assembled. I’ve had to study the plans and pictures a lot and hope I got it right! I mostly tried to think how a meticulous builder like Yoshioka would have done it.

From your pictures it looks like I’m pretty close. Your vertical stab front edge intersects the fuselage differently and someone has added a lot of fillet work around the tail that I did not see on the plans. The area around the front lower part of the stab where it intersects with the fuselage shows a very complex shape that is not reflected on your build. Yours is built more like the first kit in the series but with the full rudder like the second series.

Just a thought, you might be able to straighten the wing using heat. Moving the wing slowly over a hot electric stove burner (up from the burner about 12”) sometimes lets you bend the wing back in shape. You will be surprised how much flex the wing has.

Oh my! The 50k hit mark!
