| bbaumer | Guillows Series 500 - BF 109 | Build | 06-Aug-08 21:02 |  | | Views : 1014 | | This is a Great Planes Super Sportster 60. Just getting started about 3 months ago |
| bbaumer | Guillows Series 500 - BF 109 | Parked | 10-Apr-08 17:44 |  | | Views : 971 | | Disaster strikes! Where did I go wrong? Sealed with Elmers 50/50, airbrushed with Tamiya Acrylic diluted equally with Tamiya's thinner ( Isopropyl from what I can tell) Horrible saging, it will need to be stripped. Tissue was Medium Silkspan, it really |

| SteveM | Guillows Series 500 - BF 109 | Flying | 23-Feb-08 16:43 |  | | Views : 1518 | | The wing apears to have gone askew, resulting in straight flight rather than a circle. At this point I put away the camare and began chasing it. But about 150' away a tree kindly caught it for me. I broke the wing getting it down - back to the hanger. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 500 - BF 109 | Flying | 23-Feb-08 16:40 |  | | Views : 1340 | | Here the plane has leveled out and has swept about 180° from where I launched it. By this point I was ginning ear to ear and starting to laugh like a kid. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 500 - BF 109 | Flying | 23-Feb-08 16:37 |  | | Views : 1384 | | Initial unpowered glides were like the BF-109, short and steep. Moving the wing forward and removing 1.5g of nose weight moved the CG back, fixing the problem. Here we see it as it begins to climb and turn into a 40' circle around me. |
