| Dale1416 | Dumas Kit #211, Cessna Skymaster | Build | 11-Oct-11 22:43 |  | | Views : 2809 | | Balsa materials were of good quality and engineering of the kit was very good. I did add a former to the bottom of the fuselage and another spar to the top of the wing. |

| Dale1416 | Dumas Kit #211, Cessna Skymaster | Build | 11-Oct-11 22:42 |  | | Views : 2780 | | Covering completed using clear dope and dry tissue. After shrinking the tissue, two coats of clear dope were applied. |
| Dale1416 | Dumas Kit #211, Cessna Skymaster | Build | 11-Oct-11 22:42 |  | | Views : 2858 | | To aide in splicing tissue on the fuselage, small gaps were filled in with 1/16 sq. stringer stock. Working on the Skymaster fuselage reminded me more of building a jet car, not a plane. |
| Dale1416 | Dumas Kit #211, Cessna Skymaster | Build | 11-Oct-11 22:42 |  | | Views : 2914 | | After looking at pictures of real Skymasters, I noticed that the Dumas kit did not include an air scoop for the rear engine, so I fabricated one from a vacuum formed cut-off scrap. Adding this air scoop helped to hide the defect in the vacuum formed rear engine cowl. |
