Thanks Isaac, Don and Butelczynski...


I agree it does look like the Bloch, Isaac. It would be fun to make one of those and post them together. I think I have one from Marek!


Butelczynski: I saw that thread and that person is doing a spectacular job like making 3-D exhausts etc. It'll certainly be a looker.


Hi Don...thanks for the kind words. Funny how it seems so much simpler than the Lohner, yet I've made more than my share of foul-ups so far!


Got some more done. The rear fuselage, fin/rudder and now I'm working on the rear cockpit decking and roll-over cage. Starting to look like an airplane now!


More soon...Dan

Wow, you are making fast progress on this one.

[smithdr]

Thanks Yoav and Bob! This one is nice and straight forward. Sort of a pretty nice change.


I added the roll-over bars and the rear cockpit windows. Looks fine to me. Maybe stab next but we'll see...

Got my tails done! Very simple with a single spar and no internals. This was quite a bit easier than the tails on the Lohner!


Starting the wings soon...Dan

[Don Boose]

That subtle camouflage scheme is very attractive.

Flawless work on the empennage.

Thank you, Don. It helps that the design is spot-on. Wait until I try a REAL paper model like an old hand-drawn example without laser parts!


The wings are coming along. I found a nice aluminum tube wing spar that fits perfectly. I'll see if I can get the other side made and on tonight.


Cheers,
Dan

[smithdr]

Both are on!

Interesting 'Rustsatz' with that wing spar. Did you decide this was going to provide a stronger structure or just a simpler build process than using the kit formers? Will the landing gear support it ok?

[Texman]

You are blazing away on this one! And it looks well constructed also!
