| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 09-Jun-17 21:50 |  | | Views : 654 | | IN REVERSE ORDER - 22" Sig "Cabinaire" is Skyward Bound - 450 winds with 4 strands of 1/8" rubber, each 12" long - about 20 seconds of fllight |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 09-Jun-17 10:37 |  | | Views : 722 | | After two weeks of patient daily thin coats of rattle can Krylon clear gloss, I have no globs or runs of clear - better quit while I am ahead ... Onwards to prop hub drawings and experiments ... on the practise Axial prop I mixed a little golden oak in with the "natural" stain - I call that prop "WORMWOOD" because of all the round head pin holes all over it ... |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 06-Jun-17 22:06 |  | | Views : 649 | | Thanks mlriley and Bsadonkill, for the tips. I think I finally got the 22" Cabinaire all "trimmed out'! I built some left thrust into the downthrust shim plate between the noseblock and forward fuse former, as per Bsadonkill's suggestion, and I am getting consistent perfect right turn circles in 7 mph wind, with 360 winds of 4 strands of 1/8" rubber, stretch wound with a winding stooge, with flights of 10-15 seconds! I just can't wait for a calm day when I can try 600 winds with new, stretched and broken in, and lubed rubber! |

| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 31-May-17 22:01 |  | | Views : 673 | | I will just have to call it the "weathered look" - next time I will mix it up 50/50 Golden Oak and Natural stain to get the lighter color I was after. At least the good laminated Axial came out just the right tinge of red, and the practice prop was "Natural" stain. Now for many thin layers of rattle can Krylon Gloss Clear coatings. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 31-May-17 21:58 |  | | Views : 694 | | Just stained my 3 props after 2 wks of cleaning my apt! The small one Helice Eclair showed up with black darkened blotches on the blades - I don't know why - and I then made the mistake of brushing on a second layer of stain (golden oak) even though I knew it would darken it way darker (I thought I had overlapped the stain on the first try) and that did not work to remove those blotches!!! |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 30-May-17 21:57 |  | | Views : 704 | | Next flight, I have a powerful motor - 4 loops of 1/8" rubber 12 " long ... The last time I flew it, I had two tabs on the elevator and one on the rudder - it accelerated fast with so much power in the tightest circle, I had to duck my head at the last second as it screamed by just missing me !! - and crashed ... |
