RE: FunAero S.E.5a build

Oh, I really hope to continue it at the soonest possible point in time. Unfortunately my free time is hovering slightly above zero these days, what with the new baby and new job. I actually brought...

RE: FunAero S.E.5a build

Yeah, he's a great little addition. The only problem is that with a two month old, a three year old, a six year old, and a heavy work schedule, I've absolutely no time left over for R/C aircraft. ...

RE: FunAero S.E.5a build

Oh, there'll be no more little pilots from this flight school! He's number three, and I fully intend to have a permanent kink placed in my fuel lines now, if you catch my drift [:@]

Hello all,

It's been ages since I've posted to this thread, so I thought I'd just update everyone as to the situation.

RE: FunAero S.E.5a build

Hehe, I'm trying, I'm trying. Unfortunately work hasn't eased up any and my wife won't be getting any less pregnant until the end of February, so my model building hours have been severely...

RE: FunAero S.E.5a build

Hehe - if you look at the last build post then you'll see that I'm not that successful at managing work, home and build at the same time. To tell the truth over the last month or so work's been so...

RE: FunAero S.E.5a build

My ankle's finally feeling better now, so it was time to test out the basement stairs and complete the sheeting of the fuselage.

RE: Dynaflite SE5A / S.E. 5A / SE-5 / SE-5A / Build

I'd absolutely be interested in hearing about the DynaFlite S.E.5a as I'm building the FunAero 60" at the moment. It'd be great to be able to compare the two.

Cheers,
Neil.

That's exactly what I plan on doing Tom! I have a Sullivan remote glow starter and an MPI voltwatch switch/charging harness ready to mount. I'd been thinking about including a pilot in the cockpit...

RE: FunAero S.E.5a build

Work pressures have stepped up this week, so until last night I just didn't have the time or energy to spend in the basement. Last night I really needed some 'balsa therapy' though, so I decided to...

RE: Does covering around the engine bay need special additional protection ?

I painted the engine compartment of my LT-40 with Butyrate based paint, then when covering made sure to lap the covering around the edges and into the engine compartment slightly. When the covering...

RE: FunAero S.E.5a build
