old man emu Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Good! You'd be spewin' if you didn't find out until after you closed up the fuselage that you couldn't get into the cockpit. OME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old man emu Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 You miserable B! Why didn't you let her sit in the pilot's seat, or is that her seat until she turns 15? Great to see the progress. OME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilot Pete Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 The only thing I can pick on at the moment is the use of those sawhorses for the undercarriage. Might be just a tad overkill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbleboy Posted June 12, 2013 Author Share Posted June 12, 2013 Been a busy bee over the last month or so! Fuselage is coming along and finished gluing the turtle deck over the long weekend. Attacked it today with the sander and its ready to flip over now and start the undercarriage. Mounting the tail wheel first then on to the mains. Wont be long before she is standing on her own 3 feet! Scotty 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piet Fil Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Scot, that is looking great, it must be so satisfying seeing it coming along so well. You have inspired me to empty the garage and re-pack to try and get enough space to build another construction bench to do wing spars and fuse! Crack on I say! (You'll be needing those welding skills sooner rather than later at this rate) Phil:clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbleboy Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks guys! Phil yes I could do with the welding skills now! I have control horns and the control column that needs welding but will have to wait till I do the course and buy a TIG machine. When you start the fuselage it suddenly comes together. Especially since we built all the tail first. Im about to mount the tail wheel then look at the main wheels. Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimG Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Great work Scotty, every saturday morning I wheel Andrew Carter's Piet out of the hanger we share to get my Terrier out so now I have a better understanding of the fuse structure . One of these weekends when our busy schedules line up , Andrew has promised to take me for a fly in his Piet......... looking forward to it...! cheers JimG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbleboy Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hi Jim...we just arrived in Caboolture for the TAVAS event tomorrow! Andrew took me flying in his a year or so ago. I was impressed! Will we see you there tomorrow? Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimG Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Yeap, I'll be there , look forward to catching up. Are you going to the Open Hanger thingy at Watts on the sunday..? Cheers JimG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbleboy Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hi Jim...yes for sure! My next build is looking like a Sopwith Camel. I believe there is one there being built from a kit from the USA? I havent decided if I will go down that road or build one from scratch. I have Jim Kigers drawings here and doing a bit of research. I will be there with my wife Jodi and two kids. We are staying in the Caboolture River Holiday park. Scotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
