State of the Models Update
Where I'm at, currently.
Javelins 1-3: (1)Finished new nose block/propeller combination. I'm going to add back the landing gear. I've redesigned the mounting setup, so hopefully, it won't break off so easily. Unlike the stock setup. (2)Fuselage is nearly finished. Still need to make nose block. (3)Broke rib on horiz. stab while trying to sand it. New rib in place and drying.
Firefly: I'm having to add a V support to the front of the wing mount. The wing just isn't stable without it. Rough shaped pieces are attached, waiting to be shaped. Tailfeathers are glued on. I still need to make a prop hanger and rubber tail hook.
P-30: Making good progress. Fuselage well along, as is the wing.
FA Moth: Made a bit more progress on the fuselage today. Still no major screwups. Yay!
Polly 2: I printed out copies of the SFA logo in various sizes. I'll be adding one to the wing.
Finished one of the NP planes built according to the mods from the "Hey Kid" books.
Simple Stick: That's the name I'm giving to the plane I'm building from my old wing from one of the Don Ross book designs and the simple stick fuselage I built when I was trying to figure out what was wrong on my recent Javelin (#1 above). I still need to build tail feathers and mod the fuselage to handle rubber.
