Ivan. I have lost several fur kids over the years. Not one of them was easy to deal with. They are family. My condolences. Don

I agree. Fun to watch because it's different. Don

Awesome flying D.O.G Don

Thanks D.O.G Covid 19 has sure put a damper on things here in Ontario. Except for a few weeks here and there we've been on lock down stay at home orders for the better part of a year. This weekend we entered phase one reopening. Mostly outdoor stuff and stores that have sidewalk entry. No...

Okay, the water bomber is complete and ready to go. Tony, you were right. The closet was too small. Now the wings are on the top shelf of the shelving unit and the fuselages are on the third shelf. Beautiful day today and I took the pictures outside. Nose to nose they are a couple of large...

Thanks Keith. I appreciate the comment.

Thanks D.O.G and Tony. I hope this project will get others to build something. This was one mother of a project, but at the same time very gratifying. The next project will be a Canadair CL415 water bomber. It's from plans by a fellow in Malaysia. He does complete videos on you tube. He has...

Hi everybody. My little bird is finished. I decided to cover it in ultra cote rather than paint. Less weight. I won't get it in the air untill next spring. If all goes well at that time I'll post a video. Thanks for following the build. Don

Okay Admiral. I'll see your $1500 and raise you one million + 3 years in jail. This applies to any one who is tested and found to have the virus but can stay at home rather than hospital. This person now goes out and passes it to another and they die. Authorities here have been very successful...

Our club field is shut down for the foreseeable future. Our medical people are saying it could be end of June before the non essential restrictions are eased. Then it was on the radio that all people over 70 should not go out in public at all. Two minutes later the phone rings and it's my...

Nose strake and cowl vents. A strake is a piece of metal that is usually longer than it is wide. Depending on what characteristic the designer wants to achieve, it can be mounted on the nose, in front of the wing, or at the rear under the tail cone. The Tutor nose strake helps with flight...

Okay. Wiring in the fuselage. Those who have read along from the first will remember Pic.1 The 35 pin connector. The first side, the female side, sends the commands and the power to the wing. Ailerons, Flaps, Landing gear, door controller, landing lights, landing light power, navigation...

Fly-n-Low. Thanks for the shout out. I thought I would get the wiring posted today, but did not have enough time. Retired and time goes by faster now than when I was working. Some days I think I will go back to work for a rest. Not. Don

Thanks Keith. Thanks D.O.G. The light is not very bright yet, but at least it's on. I will post a video when I'm done the rest of the build. Hopefully it's a nice day and I can get it outside and chase some snow flakes around the parking lot. Don

Hi everybody. I must apologize. "In theory it can fly" too broad a statement. It does look like a Tutor that is all. I forgot about the fan upgrade, the wiring, the cowl ventsand the strake. So, the fan upgrade. The 80mm was basically a drop in. Just very minor sanding of the mount to fit it in...

Nice planes and flying Ivan. I'm jealous. I'm sitting here at -10c and three feet of snow. Don

Mazin. If you have any questions, I will help if I can. Here are some glues that worked and I found foam safe on pink ridged foam board. 1. BSI 30 minute epoxy. Areas of high strength. 2. Dollar store 5 minute epoxy. Works just as good as Home Depot $9.95 3. Lepage contact cement. Foam...

Hi Mazin. Thanks for the shout out. Just a suggestion on your cutters. Make sure to use a spring on the tension side. I made the mistake of not using one. The spring helps to maintain tension when the wire heats up and stretches. Constant tension helps with smooth cuts. Don

I didn't think I would have anything to pass on until paint. But there is still a lot of little things going on. I've been working on getting a better cockpit fit. Working towards a fit that looks like a proper seam, rather than a crack. Same thing with the nose gear doors. I decided to...

Thanks D.O.G. Regards Stinky Don
