Building / Construction / Bi-Plane Build
Last post by msatin - Today at 12:43:29 PMThis is an Old School Model Works kit called a Bristol SpadPort.
https://www.oldschoolmodels.com/sfb.htm
I have built several kits from this company, and this one was also excellent (for my skill level)
Their laser cutting is perfect. The manual is very detailed, and they also post hi-res pics of many of the steps.
I did run into 1 problem, which was warped sheets of light ply. Although this is not unusual, the degree of warp was.
As David K. once said, there is a level of satisfaction watching a pile of "stuff", decrease and the parts of an airplane increase.

General Discussion / Spikes on the Runway
Last post by davidk - Yesterday at 07:05:04 PMFrost has pushed up the spikes on the runway, down the middle and the sides... so be cautious when taking off and landing. The ground is still frozen so they can't yet be pushed down.
