What did you do aeroplane wise today?

Wasn't Tim Horne building a Mew Gull?

One day I'll get back to building my own aeroplanes but in the meantime I spent the afternoon making up 'kits' for the latest OMFC winter build challenge - Small Smeeds. Any Vic Smeed design reduced to peanut 13" span and rubber powered

Still 28 x plan , instructions Wall Foam and prop assembly done :-)

Building a new fuselage for my latest P-30. I made the first one taper too much and couldn't get a motor in to where the peg needed to be. I located the peg too far forward at first and that left a bunch of slack flopping around in the fuselage, so I'm building a new one rather than cutting the first apart and rebuilding.

Celluloid* panels for Olive's struts ready for Saturday's Trinity.  I was hoping I'd get away with scale dihedral for indoor only use, but last session seemed to confirm that I won't. Oh well, I knew it was a risk when I started building it.


*S'ackcherlee whatever they used to put individual birthday and other cards in. Very lightweight & makes good flat windscreen film for small indoor models. They seem to have stopped selling cards with it in the last two or three years as it can't be recycled, but I have a small hoard.
