Don CSince 1/32 balsaa is so weak, I covered them with silkspan. Much better.

Scratch Built Percival Q6 by bobgood
Don CSure looks good, Bob. Did you ever find plans, or are you winging it? (pun intended)
bobgoodNo plans for this aircraft Brian. I drew my own. I was a draughtsman for the early years of my working life. and I still enjoy putting pencil to tracing paper. Never took to CAD!
heywoooodMy favorite class in HS was draughting and technical illustration. I liked the isometric and exploded view diagrams. Amazing to realize that every single individual part and component of the Apollo program was first rendered on paper by hand - along with every other product made before the current CAD age. I would love to lay eyes on the Apollo drawings.
bobgoodI totally agree with your comments!
bobgood....are you tempted to do some model aircraft drawing then. Or do you already do so?
heywoooodIm afraid my eyesight isnt what it ought to be anymore and I struggle with these model builds as it is. I would love to revisit that area of interest and Ive looked at tilt tables and sliding squares often and thought about it just to mess around with.

Think they will work. Depends on who looks at it. Even carved some air scoops.
