    Hi, do me a favour, put this on Outerzone for other people, he won't accept it from me. Thanks, Geoff. I'm busy making my second set of wings

    Hi FlyinFlynn, been looking all over for you to say thank you. The guy I use for printing printed the ribs out for me, but as they are in red, he has no access to the same software that you use, so can't change the colour to black. The wing ribs profile is right as far as I am concerned, if I want to put wash in or out, I can do it on the next pair of ribs I make if I need to. I have built a wing using your templates, the trailing edge was spot on, so was the spacing. I put a 3 32nd spar top and bottom an inch and a quarter in for the leading edge sheeting. One thin line is very easy to concentrate on for cutting and you know it's right when there's no ink on the scrap bit or the rib. If you do do the modification to black, a nice touch would be to put a center line in. Hope I'm not being a pain and perhaps you may consider sending a copy to Outerzone. You don't happen to know the weight of the old 225 deak battery pack? Yes I am that old, in fact I used to sit on my Dad's transmitter to stop the wind from blowing it over with it's 9' aerial😂. Thanks, Geoff

    Hi, sorry I haven't got your name, the templates are absolutely spot on. All ribs now cut out and the building boards been cleared off. I just have one question, as I see it, there is 2 ways to do it, build the wings the right way up and put 1/2 inch dihedral in or build the wing upside down and because of the taper in the wing ie the top of the wing is flat, this gives a taper on the bottom of the wing. Thanks, Geoff

    Wow, that was quick, thank you. I'm going with a built up wing, 1/16th balsa ribs, sheeted leading edge, standard old school. Would anybody mind if I build them and they are ok then can I send them to outerzone so you can help other folk. Will let you know the outcome in a couple of days. Must rush, am off to the printers, Geoff

    Yes, mixing with the tx, cox td 020. The model below is even stranger, it has no wing ribs as such, just 1/6th balsa bent over the spar. Polly may be right, we'll see. Geoff Great_All_American_Backyard_Canard_oz6149_article.pdf

    Good evening , I'm not new to building, my problem is I've done my best. I've cut out the foam wing and sliced it up to achieve 8 ribs, but not usable. My cutting skills have deteriotated with age, should have stuck to parallel cord. Any help apreciated and as for the choice of model there is always one in the club who doesn't conform to normal people. Thanks again. Geoff Bugs_Ear_oz13055.pdf

    HI at the size of models I am making 22" to 36" span. There are not a lot out there 3" long. And on unless I see it in my hand I can not tell if it is what I want. So I want to have a go Dexter has been helping. Geoff.

    Good evening. I have looked on Sarik in the past and they don't seem to do what used to be called universal canopies with different sizes, but i will give Trent a call tomorrow, A3 sheets are quite cheap so i will have a word with them. I do want to mould my own to find out if i can. More satisfaction. I will let you know how i get on? Thanks Geoff

    Hi, I am in the process of building some 1/2 A models for my Grandson, who wants one with a canopy so he can put a proper pilot in ( smiley) I was going to go on the lines of a plunge mold, but before i start, what is the best material to use and where can you get it from? I don't really want to use the pop bottle method. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks, Geoff Maximum length will be about 5"

    Hi, Hawk 70, nice aeroplane, flys well. Been trying to get one for the last 3 years, but just get promises !!!! Does anyone still have one of these or the plans they could help me with? I may have the wing templates but without knowing the root and tip cord, i have no chance of finding them. I wait with anticipation, thanks, Geoff

    Hi Stevo, I think you may be talking about the wrong thing, white spirit is used on oil based products ie humbrol enamel, the solvent for this is a cellulose thinner type of product similar to what girls use on their fingers and toes, they use it because it dries quicker. I've only said this so you won't spoil a model Geoff

    Hi Dennis, i don't know why you are apologising, you didn't say any thing wrong, but according to my kids, you're shouting when you use capitals. Davyp, There's 2 sorts of ronseal, one dries crystal clear, the other one is slightly opaque, i know i've got one room gloss and one room not gloss, must read the label on the tin David, Yes, i'll be using 2 pack resin I've tried spraying with the correct mixture and if you look in my pictures, you will see one of them shows what looks like candy floss, which is what you get if the paints too thick, i've read somewhere else they have had the same problem with this, so i'm shouting now IF YOU WANT YOUR MODEEL FUEL PROOF, DON'T THIN SOLAR-LAC, I HOPE THE OWNER READS THIS AS I WONDER HOW OTHER PEOPLE WREAK THEIR PRIDE ND JOY. geoff

    Martin, that seems a good idea, water based, its a pity i've got a tin of ronseal floor varnish but its not the clear one, its opaquish, might go and put a bit of fuel behind the sink in the bathroom and see what it does. Thanks, Geoff

    Hi, ok, i said i over thinned it, as for the details, i'm aware of what the product is supposed to do. The tail plane was done over a week ago in a very warm loft so one imagines it would be dry. Klass Kote, ferny coat, aerokote, i think are all kissing cousins which i suggested myself as if i can't paint with a paint brush, i can't put any thing on unless i spray it, which is a bit like there's a hole in my bucket, lets fix it. I've just put some pictures in my albums (in the past i've used two pack automotive which should really be done using a respirator) I've sprayed with cellulose in the past and used Fernyglass, no problems.and of course Roy Levers brand, which was very good. I decided to go down his route after spraying a cowl using alfords car paint and halfords lacquer, which just turned to chewing gum. I hope that clarifies some points but i do find it a bit strange that nobdy else has done the same as i, obviously everybody is a lot Wiser than myself. Cheers, Geoff
