bert baker Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Have done a paint test area to check and it’s looking promising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert baker Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Nearly completed, Ive replaced all the rigging wires just need to paint the wing when the weather warms up a bit Drill the cowl for nylon inserts Hopefully this will eliminate the Cowl coming loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert baker Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Windsor models 1982 Stampe was a lot cheaper back in the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manish Chandrayan Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 But looks like at that price you could only get a 'sample' 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Jenkins Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Au contraire - the autocorrect might have turned Stampe into Sample! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert baker Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Hmm have to wait to see how the paint dries, may need some lacquer to darken it die a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert baker Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Think will need a second coat, if it’s gloss finish it must have sunk into the weave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert baker Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 As PLM is now left for the paint to do its own thing for a while before running the engine thought I would stick with bi-plane repairs and move ACDA a bit mire forward, The Fuz will be fully recovered in next year or twelve but for now needed to cover it for a short term fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bert baker Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 PLM back in the air was blowing 17 mph so kept it short it could do with some more weight up front if I’m gonna fly it in all weathers By far the most neutral c/g position I’ve flown would be great on calm days IMG_0455.MOV 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin McIntosh Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Bert, I know that you flew at W&W in a much stronger wind than that. Remember when they were crying out for models in the air and we were the only ones brave enough with our flimsy bipes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert baker Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Yep sure do, It was a horrible cross wind today and I just wasn’t feeling it, had two short flights and called it a day My son William flew his Stampe today and came to the same conclusion It was the first Stampe flight this year Nice warm calm day would have been better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
