Gordon Whitehead 1 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 My new Krier Great Lakes for Laser 155 power. 65in span, 11lb auw. Scaled up from my own original 47in span magazine plan (seen in my avatar) which I downloaded from Outerzone and scaled to 65in span and tile printed using the free Foxit pdf reader available on the internet. Standard balsa/ply/spruce covered in HK white film with red Monokote sunburst, cheat lines and checks. Cowl has balsa front ring with cardboard skirt, epoxy-glassed inside and out. The oleos are sprung, the upper fairing made from litho plate. The Laser 155 is angled to raise the carb to a more favourable height in relation to the fuel tank. The aluminium spinner is a Just Engines item. For ease of carrying about I made a carrying handle which screws to the cabane using the wing bolts, and which stores the interplane struts and inter-aileron link rods.

Geoff S Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Absolutely gorgeous. I like biplanes anyway so this has an inside track for me but this is just another example of a master builder's output. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Yep me too, Waco's one of my favourites. Very nice Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon P Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Thanks for the compliments regarding my Q-Tee. Wow Paul, that Waco is really beautiful. I love the in flight shots. That's what I wanted for my Q-Tee but my 4 year old son's photography skills weren't quite up to the task. Hehe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiKid Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Really enjoying the bipe pics! For the rest of us mere mortals the ARF Dynam Waco is a good looking fun park and club flyer with a short build time Edited By KiwiKid on 07/12/2017 23:31:23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Whitehead 1 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Thanks for the kind comments guys and it's splendid to see such a great collection of even more bipes It's over 6 years since I last built a plane and boy did it take some getting back into. The workshop was a permanent tip and I kept having to hunt down tools and materials that somehow hid themselves as soon as I'd put 'em down. So to make sure I don't forget how again, I'm gonna start my next build pretty darned soon and get properly organised! Cheers Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I'm glad I'm not the only one who has problems finding tools I only put down a few seconds before! The biggest culprit is my 150mm steel rule which has markings I can actually see - it slides under things and deliberately hides. Yes, I'm loving all these bipes, too. Now I've just about finished my Mew Gull it's time to get started on either an indoor EaChine SE5a or my DB Cirrus Moth. Biplanes are doubly enjoyable Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Garsden Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Not in plentiflul supply now but holder of the DS Soaring world record for 2 metre gliders (350mph methinks) This is a Dynamic 60 by Joe Manors from California.

Chris Walby Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Miss ordered a couple of HK motors (my fault !) so hunted a suitable size model. For a new boy balsa butcher and first time cloth/resin user its very stand off finish (but then again I don't think it was ever really intended to be pure scale). The idea is to have it lurking in the back of the car for the grab and go bit of fun when you just fly without assembly. PS On 3S2200 performance is good and if anyone is interested I could do a build blog PPS and of course you all knew it is a TN Ta154 !
