| SteveM | Guillows Series 300 - Fiesler Storch | Build | 03-Oct-11 23:54 |  | | Views : 982 | | The result of a few hours of casual building this evening. The Weldbond glue grabs quickly and is dry enough to handle the parts in about 15 minutes or so. The side keels are pretty neat in this SRK. In the kit you glue the two parts of each keel half into the formers one at a time, gluing them together on the fuselage. But with the SRK they are one piece of wood that has be scored about halfway through at the joint between the two parts so that it easily bends as needed. The part "D6" in the center of the horizontal stabilizer was too small and I had to take a minute or two to make a new one. It was almost like the part was drawn too small without the kerf of the laser being taken into account. Other then that, everything has had a fantastic fit. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 300 - Fiesler Storch | Build | 03-Oct-11 23:48 |  | | Views : 776 | | If I am able to stick with it and complete this Storch it'll by my entry for the 2011 "G" challenge. It's an SRK from DPCM so no kits will be harmed in the building of this model. See Jerry Campbell's Storch photos if you want to see what is provided in the SRK. The quality of the wood is nice, light yet strong, and the laser cutting makes it all fall together quickly, though the sheets that the formers were in need a little extra knife work to free the parts. |
