| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 29-May-17 16:33 |  | | Views : 673 | | Hummingbirds are marvels of amazing powers of flight, and all species feed while hovering, and are the only bird to fly backwards. The dead giveaway for identifying the male "Broad-Tailed" is the loud, distinctive, shrill, metalllic whistling, or loud trill, when they fly, which is often heard before actually seeing the bird. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 29-May-17 16:22 |  | | Views : 707 | | Broad-Tailed Hummingbird - hummingbirds are gems of beauty whose throats (gorgets) and crowns reflect a brilliant colorful metalllic gllittering iridescence that flashes from the correct light angle, otherwise, the throats look black in most lights. |

| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 24-May-17 13:03 |  | | Views : 681 | | My experiment with different wood stain colors and Krylon Gloss Clear Coatings, on some scrap lamination pieces from the prop block, to see what they look like. LEFT TO RIGHT : 1 - "Golden Oak" 2 - "Natural" 3 - "Mixture" : - 10 parts 'Natural', 1 part 'Cabernet' Red, and 1 part 'Golden Oak' (I like this one the best for my red and black Fokker D7), 4 - "American Walnut". Colors three and four are on the same piece of balsa scrap block laminate. |

| LASTWOODSMAN | Herr Engineering HRR 105, Fokker D-7 | Parked | 24-May-17 12:51 |  | | Views : 704 | | Three props are sanded down to 600 grit. Left to right : 9 1/4" laminated "AXIAL" for the 24" Fokker D7, 9 1/4" one piece "AXIAL" practise prop, 6 1/4" one piece "HELICE ECLAIR" for my 17 1/2" Fokker Eindecker E III. I am half way through building a good jig, to hold and easily remove, all 3 props, as this will take a long time to do it right, with many light thin layers of spray. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 23-May-17 20:20 |  | | Views : 683 | | Little too windy to determine anything - 8 mph - got some good glides - seems to turn right - 450 turns does not get it to climb - only one good 12 second flight - ?WHY? - at least I didn't smash it up ... |

| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 20-May-17 11:41 |  | | Views : 784 | | This kit has 6 pages of great building and flying instructions (that I should have followed). The SIG "CLASSIC SERIES" assures flying ability and proven dependable flyers. You can expect hand wound flilghts to last 10 - 25 seconds, and stretch wound fllights to last 20 - 50 seconds. This model has been beat up and repaired a few times ... |
