Did you sneak those guys in on purpose?

Did you sneak those guys in on purpose?

Same thoughts here, especially the one on the left.

Well the quickie got sidelined, waiting on covering and a pushrod tube. My friend had a death in the family so I’d rather not bother him with the needed parts. So for a few days the plane got moved to the side. Started the Sig Wonder. Got the ribs, too and bottom spar, leading and trailing edges glued down. It should be a fast build. Not much there to build!! Calls for a .15 engine but I have a .28 that should do nicely. And then there is the .32 lol. Who knows.

Time change got me last week. And I needed to set up a couple rifles. That slowed me down as well. The Wonder is coming along. The main wing is almost complete, I need to shape the wingtips.

 

[yarddog]

Gettin there.

Brought this 62 inch wing into the hanger for repairs. I added LED lights a few months ago and didn’t check the balance. The lights made it tail heavy and it spun in and broke the sparks. Today I am replacing the spars, repairing the broken lights and patching the covering. And I’ll balance it this time!!

Alrighty. The wonder is constructed. Covering starts this morning.

YD
Coola as always Love it
Do you still use the old silk and dope covering?

 

[WeedHopper]

You gotta mouse that can fly that plane.

 

[yarddog]

@WeedHopper I have a radio receiver that will fly this plane. @RosterMan I’ve never used silk and dope. I’m a youngin at 35, plastic covering is all I’ve known. The next build is a Champion Citabria and I am thinking of using fabric on that

My wife hates this color scheme. Says it’s like ketchup and mustard. Red going on next.

Paint a hotdog in a bun on it for her.

I use to build old biplane balsam my own design but never powered any with engines
Some I used large rubber bands to get them to do short flights.
They came out really nice , frame work was all coated and doped.
With I had pics.

 

[RosterMan]

Similar to this frame
No to them fancy wheels

 

[WeedHopper]

We use to build them out of balsom and fly them by strings with us turning in circles or swinging them over our head. Then we would fight them until one couldn't fly anymore. Was fun as hell. Swinging those fkers around and crashing into each other's plane.

Ketchup installed on fuselage

 

[yarddog]

French fry is going on the vertical stabilizers. Ketchup bottle on each wing. Hot dog going on each side of the fuselage

Now your talking. Damnt,,now I'm hungry again.
