I've been unexpectedly awarded Friday off, so decided to have a go at the Pulstar.
Went to Leeds model shop first thing, 3rd attempt after two 'closed on arrival' episodes...
Bought wood, glue, sanding sealer, brushes (HOW much??? for some hair on a stick???)
So far we have a wing, not quite to plan but using those offcut packs that you buy at shows:
We also have some fuz sides, breaking my usual tradition of making two left sides.
Back in Vic's day there was less demand for balsa, allowing them to wait until the tree
was 4
7/16" wide. These days of course they get chopped down at 4" wide
so we have to stick bits together.
This is called 'aeromodelling' (or something...)
Isnt it fun working around all those curves?
Bish bash bosh, when the glue dries we will have a fuz - using some new-fangled high-tech adhesive
called 'balsa cement'
Got a tiny 1610 motor, prop, esc, 450 lipo, rx ... might just possibly get there just in time!
Pondering which radio to use. Think it might be the Macgregor Digimac 1+1.
Can you tell what it is yet?
