Don Coe 9 Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 Another day, another subject, another forty or so to go. The results of today's labours! Some brass, some steel. All a pain in the shed! Link to post Share on other sites
Darren 0 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Oh, what I would give to have a day like that Anyway Don, looking good, can't wait to see it all finished and in one big piece Link to post Share on other sites
Don Coe 9 Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 An update on the panel. The fuel tank pressurising pump and the ignition switch have been started. I've replaced the turned aluminium instruments housings with plastic card items. Link to post Share on other sites
Don Coe 9 Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) Now I've dried the front room out following a cistern failure I think it time for an update on the Pup. Here's a few pics of work done over the last three days. Edited May 17, 2006 by Guest Link to post Share on other sites
Don Coe 9 Posted May 17, 2006 Author Share Posted May 17, 2006 Apparently I'm allowed just three images per post so here are the ones missed from the last post. Link to post Share on other sites
Don Coe 9 Posted May 20, 2006 Author Share Posted May 20, 2006 Prevented from mowing the grass 'cos it's pishing down so had to get on with the Pup. Here's today's output. I've finished the aileron drive sheaves for the lower wings and have yet to paint the litho plate surrounds PC10. The cross bracing of the centre section is completed but for the security wiring of the turnbuckles. The dummy Le Rhone is finally trimmed to fit and needs the addition of the copper plated air ducts and solid copper spark plug conductors to make it look half way decent.

Don Coe 9 Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 Here's a question for you. Do you know what these are for? There are no prizes offered and Tony van G is not allowed to give the answer 'cos he knows! There are 16 of them - that's a clue! They've yet to be painted satin black and fitted into position. Turn up to the meeting on Thursday for the answer! Link to post Share on other sites

Jimbo 0 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 They must be for retaining something round in cross section and linear in form to something flat in appearance. How about that? Link to post Share on other sites
Don Coe 9 Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 Very good AVM Jimbo, VD & scar. Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbo 0 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Its VD, Scar and Crossed Scalpels if you don't mind! Link to post Share on other sites
Peter 0 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 You know these widgets could just be retaining brackets running down the struts 4 on each strut hence 16 Thet may just hold connecting wires etc to aileron linkage on the real thing. Regards, Peter Link to post Share on other sites
Don Coe 9 Posted May 24, 2006 Author Share Posted May 24, 2006 could be. Peter. But there again....... Link to post Share on other sites
Don Coe 9 Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 Well - all was revealed at the Static Scale meeting and if you weren't there that's your loss! The model is now ready to test fly this Sunday which, hopefully, will give me time to iron out any snags before the Old Warden Scale day next weekend. Here's a couple of shots to show the completed Le Rhone with the air ducts fitted and one of the Rotherham pump with it's metal airscrew. Link to post Share on other sites
Darren 0 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Looks good Don, be nice to see it fly soon. Link to post Share on other sites
