| rayl | Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A | Build | 04-Mar-15 16:49 |  | | Views : 954 | | I now have all of teh L/G doors constructed but are still figuring out the hinges and actuators. BOuncing around between items, I also now ready to start on the cockpit with the instruments printed out and teh Inst. panel picture test having been test-fit for the proper size. Off-camera, I have some laminated bows for the canopy drying on their forms. |

| John M Oshust | ManzanoLaser Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.12a | Build | 04-Mar-15 14:31 |  | | Views : 876 | | There is a critical part of a biplane construction endeavor. That being the fitting of the wings to each other and to the fuselage. The past few days I have addressing this stage of Ogre construction in an hermit like manner. |

| John M Oshust | ManzanoLaser Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.12a | Build | 04-Mar-15 14:29 |  | | Views : 802 | | I buried Gumby in a snow drift while I pondered and implemented this critical part of the build. No room for the myth and hijinks associated with his presence, as an error in thought at this critical juncture, could spell disaster for Ogre’s completion and final form. |
| John M Oshust | ManzanoLaser Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.12a | Build | 04-Mar-15 14:28 |  | | Views : 796 | | The moment of truth eventually arrived....that being the dry fitting of the air foils! I was happy to see that all seems well. |
| John M Oshust | ManzanoLaser Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.12a | Build | 04-Mar-15 14:27 |  | | Views : 839 | | When components fall into place and align with each other in a dry elastically bound fit, you can be fairly certain that all will go well when the wings are placed in bonds of the epoxy molecules in the near future. |

| Don C | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Plan #59, Curtiss C-46 Commando | Reference | 03-Mar-15 23:52 |  | | Views : 893 | | Friends, it is with heavy heart that I pos this photo of Captain Richard B. Clauson, USAAF, a member pf the greatest generation, who pased away last nignt eight weeks shy of his 93rd birthday. It is his C-46 I have been recreating this winter. I'll be gone for a while. If you know any of these guys, visit and talk to them while you can. |
| rayl | Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A | Build | 03-Mar-15 14:18 |  | | Views : 960 | | ANd how is my day going? Glad that you asked. First time to make make my own decals using Testors decal paper: Apparently I did not lay a heavy enough coat of fixative over the decals. TIghtened sphincter, dry mouth, etc. I found that laying a piece of paper towel saturated with white vinegar over the decal softened it enough to gently peel the remenants off with out damaging anything. Whew. Now I will print up some new decals and be sure to spray enough fixative on them. |
