    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build

    Cowl and wheel pants arrived yesterday from Fibertech-n-More, nice and light parts. This plane is 10% larger then my previous Cherokee but the cowl looks so much larger. I had to use a 1/4"-32 plug on the left cylinder to avoid cutting a hole in the cowl, will not be problem on this cowl, over...

    Mike Hurley Extra

    The only changes are the sheeting thickness and spar size and material. It has been a while but I'm pretty sure I used 3/8" spruce for the Hurley spars and 3/32" balsa sheeting. Here are a few photos from the Extra 200 build.

    I built the Hurley Extra longer before I began posting builds, I have made many other foam rib builds along the way. You can find one here https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/kit-building-121/9582545-one-design-build-2.html

    Prop balancing

    I use clear spray paint for balancing. Takes a while for the paint to flash off but no big deal, three blades are no different than two blades.

    Never knew what DLG stood for, not many glider guys in the area. Seen one two weeks ago and was amazed.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build

    Short kit came today but so did my gas logs and burner. I need to finish the remodeling work first, the logs were ordered on 3/4/21 arrived 6/21/21! Of course they blamed CoVid, society latest excuse for not getting work done. National Balsa got my short kit to me in less than a week!

    Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

    A before and after. I salvaged these drawers from a friend's daughter's basement, they are Lyon brand and I expect pretty old, works great for me. The drawer sixe is 36" x 24" x 2 3/4" and open the whole way, industrial stuff from a storeroom I suspect. I can get all my tooling and measuring...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    Second fight today, 2 1/2 pounds nose weight, aileron differential. Not a good flying day, 90 degree cross wind. Not feeling the love yet, made one rectangle circuit and landed. Better than last week but still a long way to go. Doesn't like cross wind for sure.

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build

    Been thinking about the construction details. Hoping this plane will be an everyday flyer much like the original. My current line of thinking of course subject to change is as follows; Wings will be foam rib construction with wing tube rather than the box spar design. The 25% scale version...

    Scale Wendell Hostetler 30% PA-28 Cherokee Build

    Was doing a little web surfing this morning and ended up at the Williams Brothers site, they have hit some bad times and looks like everything on their store is backordered. This resulted in more searches and finally I remembered that I had bought a 30% scale Life Like pilot figure for Byron...
