| pfinn | Dumas Kit #220, Westland Lysander | Build | 19-Nov-09 17:23 |  | | Views : 756 | | Tried using a piece of styrene as a strap around the tips. It worked. Yahoo! Thought it might melt in the microwave. |
| pfinn | Dumas Kit #220, Westland Lysander | Build | 19-Nov-09 17:19 |  | | Views : 776 | | Lams are in. 2 pc. 1/32" Balsa, 2pc .020 Bass alternating, Bass out. Used the "Mega" steamer to localize softening only in the areas that needed to be bent. |
| pfinn | Dumas Kit #220, Westland Lysander | Build | 19-Nov-09 17:14 |  | | Views : 811 | | As with the Holiday, I'm laminating the wing profile. It has been proven VERY durable. This time I've included the L.E. so it's one homogenous hoop (till I cut the Ailerons, that is). 3/16" Bass form. |

| pfinn | Dumas Kit #220, Westland Lysander | Build | 19-Nov-09 17:06 |  | | Views : 969 | | To make things a little more equal in Jimmy and my flight forrays (he's taken over flying the "Holiday"), DD has wonderfully provided me with, as usual, an unusual aircraft to have at. Will be RC. Full house. Thank You David. Phil. |

| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Reference | 15-Nov-09 22:12 |  | | Views : 981 | | Hey John O, these are the "Fatties" I dd for the Tigercat. I'll be making blades for all the hubs I'm doing. These are 1/24 scale. I could bump up the blades for your size hubs if you like. I contacted DD and he said he was fine with it. But if you'd like some David Duckett originals, I Totally understand that too. Phil |

| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Reference | 07-Nov-09 18:05 |  | | Views : 1128 | | Well, JohnG, beat you to it! These are in the hands of JohnG. Eight molds for this particular set plus the turned aluminum spinner parts. Took a little while with three hours here and there and a couple of good work days, but they're finished. The .045 dia. wire and aluminum shafts are inmolded as well as the wheel bearings that slip/press into the wheels. I used some pigment in the prop blades and hubs but as the resin cures white, the blades are not quite black, but are a good base for a black paintjob. |
