| scirocco14 | SIG Monocoupe | Parked | 20-Jul-09 19:56 |  | | Views : 5839 | | Good news! After repairs, I waited until the wind calmed down and did some test flights. The gliide tests were perfect so I put about 150 winds in it (1/4" FIA tan, 1 loop) and got a nice little flight. Then I put 300 winds in it, crossed my fingers and let 'er go. She climbed and banked to the left and gave me a nice lazy left hand circle for about 10 seconds. Beautiful attitude in the air, so stable and peaceful. Woo hoo! I need a bigger field if I'm going to give it full winds though... |

I've also replaced the red clown wheels supplied in the kit with some "half" (more like a quarter actually) wheels made out of balsa. Once painted they'll look OK. |

| scirocco14 | Guillows Series 500 - Junkers JU87 Stuka | Build | 20-Jul-09 16:41 |  | | Views : 5528 | | The new color scheme is coming together. I'm going for a more Teutonic white/black/silver. Now that I've had some practice covering, mixing the various colored tissue is getting easier! |

| David Duckett | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #41, Mitsubishi J2M3 Radien "Jack" | Build | 20-Jul-09 15:27 |  | | Views : 1435 | | The finished product. Use a pin to apply the tiniest amount of CA possible where the tape ends to keep it in place. When everything's dry a small dab of paint will complete it. |

| David Duckett | Dave Diels Engineering, Inc Kit #41, Mitsubishi J2M3 Radien "Jack" | Build | 20-Jul-09 15:22 |  | | Views : 1317 | | I'm using Pactra masking tape around the edges and painted regular masking tape cut in strips for the pieces that go across. |
