| pfinn | Scratch Built Twinster | Build | 05-Jan-10 10:50 |  | | Views : 588 | | Well, I went AWOL on Gen. Lysander (you know, Peloponnesian War in 405 B.C.) to quickly build Jimmy a plane for the now "Scratch Built only" indoor flying meet we attend monthly. Here's the plans and some leftover guts for it. |
| pfinn | Dumas Kit #220, Westland Lysander | Reference | 15-Dec-09 13:11 |  | | Views : 828 | | Just couldn't resist. [;o)] |
| pfinn | Dumas Kit #220, Westland Lysander | Build | 15-Dec-09 05:26 |  | | Views : 876 | | More "Monkey Motion". Aileron linkage pretty much figured out. Flaps just need servo and pushrod install. The wings will slide on and off and be held in place with some neodymium magnets as well as the struts. |
| pfinn | Guillows Series 500 - BF 109 | Reference | 15-Dec-09 02:10 |  | | Views : 1160 | | Jimbothehotdog, if you can use this, I can e-mail you a larger version .pdf to printout to the size of your choice. Phil |
| pfinn | Dumas Kit #220, Westland Lysander | Build | 08-Dec-09 03:30 |  | | Views : 871 | | Remove from taped support (need a bit of patience there), cut control surfaces. in this case, two cuts through the trailing edge lamination. Viola! Ailerons and flaps. Flaps are bottom hinged, ailerons, top. |

| pfinn | Dumas Kit #220, Westland Lysander | Build | 08-Dec-09 03:21 |  | | Views : 673 | | Then just continue with main wing then control surfaces and box in (where needed). Ileft all these oversize in heighth for sanding after bonding. These are not bonded yet because the tape is holding it all together till I'm sure it's satisfactory. |
| pfinn | Dumas Kit #220, Westland Lysander | Build | 08-Dec-09 03:15 |  | | Views : 678 | | Starting with the main wing side, I opened up a slot to accept the sub spar(?) with clearance for the aileron torque tube, notches for ribs, and a 1.5 degree angled slot for carbon fiber locator pin. |

| pfinn | Dumas Kit #220, Westland Lysander | Build | 08-Dec-09 03:05 |  | | Views : 665 | | Back to the wings. Cutting control surfaces. After an almost finish sanding, I double stick taped the wings to some 1/32" balsa sheet to keep things in place while... |
| pfinn | Dumas Kit #220, Westland Lysander | Build | 06-Dec-09 00:47 |  | | Views : 751 | | This is the primer I use. It's the best "Rattle Can" primer I've ever used. EVER. High build, recoat every 5 min. (three coats fills and hides 220 scratch) at 75-80 deg F (10 min today at 60 deg), ready to sand in 1 hour. Sands like a dream come true. Non filling puffy dust. The picture is unsanded. Both my Guillows ser 500 me 109 and jfinn's FW 190 were both primed with this. Covering flexibilty is not an issue. Once again, pricey. $20.00 a can. And again, worth every penny. |
