Building a plane (SR71)

Again another long post describing the build of mine
And again THIS PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED came up, if this keeps happening I wont bother to post

Type your long messages into your 'office' programme, and 'save' it there, then just copy and paste to the forum. If it gets lost again, you still have the original.

:silly: let's see if my pic works

Well done that man
Is the transport in the back of the pic to take the model etc to the field ?? :woohoo: :woohoo:

Garry

you bet !! Hahaha but I actually race bicycles and named one of my bikes sr71

We all do something that looks daft to someone else - - - well, dafter than flying model aircraft, that is! :evil:

Hi Manny if you go to my SR71 build, page 2, 18th Jan 2012 you will see how I set mine up
Maybe some kind soul on here could pop the pic in here

Hey buddy boy !! Trust me I have gone and seen all your photos on your build and saved all of them as a reference !!

So, wont move the pic then , PHEW :woohoo: :woohoo:

Garry

Lazy sod

:silly: coming about

Very neat cutting there Manny only another twenty formers to go
When I get my new modelling room I will build another

hey Tony thanks for the feedback !it means a lot !! I have all my aircraft grade birch ply for formers F1-F22 but i have to use luan ply for the big formers F15-F20 i was thinking of glassing them before installation.. what are you thoughts?????

Unless it is really necessary, DON'T! Weight is a model-killer, and the 71 doesn't have an awful lot of wing!

Hiya ,Can i butt in ? Oh I have [badass] Luan should be fine without any reinforcement,or Revolution ply which i believe has fewer imperfections and is less splintery. I may be teaching granny but I have a tip or two to offer. Before offering the ply to the saw cut through the outer veneer with a sharp knife.Then put the blade along side the cut and cut without overlapping . This avoids the splintering which may otherwise occur on the face side. It's impossible to cut both faces the same so put masking tape over the cutting area on the reverse. OR clamp a sacrificial piece to the reverse . Anything will do for that. you could use the tape and a piece .It may not totally eliminate splintering but certainly would help.Also if you can cut a little away from the line and sand back to the line that should help too. If I have attempted to teach granny to suck eggs I apologise.Lovely work so far. :woohoo:
