Who wants to share a new Flair Baronette build?
Steven S replied to Simon Knight's topic in Scale and Semi-Scale kits
Posted by Paul james 8 on 05/11/2019 10:48:45: Posted by Bruce Collinson on 04/11/2019 21:52:19: Bet the t nuts were 1/4 UNC. Modelfixings. BTC If they were the original ones mine were quite a bit smaller than 1/.4 inch. Plane looks great after the refurb, still waiting for the weather to improve so I can get mine flown, too wet to get the grass cut short enough for this type of model to take off from. I know this is old news, but in Canada we use 10-24 and 10-32 nylon wing mounting bolts, they are 0.181 Inch Dia -

Mine is coming along. I'm finishing the third wing section and have made most of the fuselage so far. Next are the ailerons, flaps and finish off the [electric] motor mount. I still have to finish the wing mtg plates and change to larger wheels. -

Any local craft store that sells vinyl cutters should have some. The "Michaels" here sell 84 different colours, including a couple of golds.

When I built my Sabre Jet I came across this duct calculator. It is best to have the duct taper to the calculated dia at the exit. I made my tube out of some old X-ray film. Duct calculator Edited By Steven Shaw on 02/12/2019 23:29:50

I have a small shop and had to give up my 15 inch Delta and replace it with a Dremel Moto-Saw 9.8 inch scroll saw. It uses Dremel pinned blades and I am very happy with it. It clamps firmly onto the edge of my workbench, makes nice clean cuts, and although I have never broken a blade they are easy to find in most DIY stores. I have regular, fine and metal cutting blades for it.

Here is some info on flaps and leading edge slats that may be of use. -
+1 for GrahamC's method, that's how I do it also.

Hi Peter, no problem, I just had to recut some new bottom strips. I have been following your build threads for years and should have noticed the mistake myself, but got caught up in cutting my wing "kit" I just posted the drawing mistake to forewarn future builders. -

Steven S replied to Peter Miller's topic in Peter Miller plan builders
I'm building the wings now and came across a small problem on the plans. The layout at the front of the ribs shows the top and bottom sheeting stoping at the end of the ribs. I had to recut the sheets so that the leading edge strip would sit between them. Just some info for any future builders. The red circled notches were just there to remind me to add notches to 8 ribs for the dihedral braces. -

I have been mounting my steerable tailwheels with a small eyescrew under the rudder with a bit of stripped wire insulation for a bit of cushioning. -
Das Ghosten Flugboot
Steven S replied to David Still 1's topic in Building from Traditional Kits and Plans
This was a fun plane to build, the pilots are figures from an HO train set. -
Hi Tim - good to see that you are still working on your Cub, sounds like you had a busy summer. I'm still working on mine, the fuse is basically done and covered and I am working on my wing now. I have left my options open on the battery box area and would be interested in your solution. Your's seems to be the only other "electric" one being posted.
