    Airplane Cradles in the Shop, What works, what doesn't?

    i was thinking about that, just buy a piece of 1" dowel and bolt it into the wing saddle where the wing would attach.

    ok, thanks guys. i'm just in the shop now removing the plywood doublers just ahead of the wing tubes. also cut some 3/8" balsa stock. that ought to be the last of it and then it'll start going back together. need to order some triangular stock this evening and maybe the front will be done...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    chris, i bought two of your blocks when you first started making them! they're already being used, just need a longer and wider one to get the broad sides of the fuselage tuned up when the rebuilding is completed. i don't know, it's what i bought. top and bottom plates are removed until the...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Just got home and trying to do something every night even if it isn't very much...cut out the landing gear plates and the cruddy balsa reinforcements in the area. Lots of work scraping out the old glue everywhere but almost ready to start putting stuff back in. Waiting on a sheet of 3/8"...

    Plane Stand Pro - fuselage stand.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    brought home my band saw, table saw, and drill press today......if I'm awake tonight I'm going to make the plywood landing gear stress plates that are missing from the forward fuselage and also restore the landing gear plate to where it's supposed to be without the extra blocks and stuff that...

    roll one out and put our names on it, we'll find a fun way to give it away. maybe, entrants will send me their old cradles and i'll see who needs replacement the most**. We can do a 100cc airframe contest the same way and give the winner a new Viper** **all contest entries become the...

    Very nice Terry! Kudos to those of you using the wing tube for support! Never thought of that! Having said all of that, I have a keyboard stand and I think it's going to be very good for the space I have and the work I have to do in the near term. So, as promised, a free GiantScaleNews.com...

    Airplane Cradles in the Shop, What works, what doesn't?

    that first one is very nice but I don't have enough room in my shop for something like that. the second one also looks like a good option but it also will take up too much room. i'm dealing with a shop that is about 11x14 so I i'm trying to find something that will sit on the bench when I...

    Airplane Cradles in the Shop, What works, what doesn't?

    You what I'm talking about, something that can hold your giant scale fuselage upside down while you work on it without dinging the covering or denting the balsa. I know I can go to the interweb with my credit card and find a solution but let's see what you guys (and gals :) ) are using. 2"...
