at top is wing used to make mold, and at the bottom is the firebrick mold. The firebrick mold then goes in to kiln for slumping. This is technique where glass is heated to the point it becomes flexible, and contours to the mold.

Thought I would try to combine both my hobbies in to one. I do stained glass art, and I am trying to build Hurricane out of glass.

All glued together now. Seems to need a lot of weight in the nose...

We had pretty cloudy skies, and this was about the only one that (half) came out for me. Unfortunately, I must have jogged the camera, it's a little blurred...

Note the large amount of rudder offset, mostly to counter the port wing's drag flap. There is also a fair amount of right and down thrust, working against the torque.

Not a Guillows Hurricane, but a scratch built one, about the same size. It is a little battered after years of flying and repairs. The port wing has a drag flap to keep it from spiralling to the left.

All covered, and two coats of satin Krylon. It's nowhere near a perfect job, but OK for now. How should I attach the wings? I was thinking of rubber bands, or magnets. Do you guys generally glue the wings on for free flight? What if something needs to be

Scigs, I'm building this just to have a bit of fun at the flying field. Never flown anything rubber powered before, so we'll see how it goes!
