Re: Wing nut Wings FE2b
Well, I guess my idea of watching Chuck or any master for that matter is different than some. I guess what I'm saying is that instead of being scared by his ability to build anything it inspires me .
Besides the builds are always full of good ideas and he answers questions when I have one.
After all, what can I learn from someone less capable than myself ? :idonno
Mr T. , are you the Sargent of arms ? You may have to throw paddy out of the building !
Cheers, Christian B)

I think you miss understand...I am 100% fired by Chuk, I will never be anywhere near his level but what i was saying to James was, if he is put off by my rigging and doesn't give his FE2b a go then i have failed because the idea is to inspire, just as chuk inspires me. If we dont try something because we dont think we will do as well as someone else then we would all look at chuks work and give up !! Anyone who follows any of my builds will know whether its trigging here, a real chain on a bike or an Aires engine set...or even a spoked wheel
i always set myself a target i think i cant manage with the thinking that if i can pull it off then anyone can, so others will then be tempted to try something new as well. If one person looks at this build and thinks, Hey !! i can do that and has a go then its been worth posting on this thread.
I post on this thread for two reasons, one is we have to post to make the thread work, then people come back and we make friends and swop ideas and get inspired to do another build.. the site needs attractions to work and WIP threads are a good attraction. Secondly i want criticism to help me improve what i do. What i dont want to do is post to show off or put anyone off trying something themselves.
Nearly finished rigging the wings tonight. B)

Re: Wing nut Wings FE2b
Sorry, not sure I misunderstood anything. I'm sold on anyone daring enough to try something I haven't done yet. That's where I get my drive from. You , Chuck , Bob senior, Tim to mention a few.
Doesn't matter to me tank , ship , road grader or plane. There's always something to learn and something to try ...

Re: Wing nut Wings FE2b
Ye gods! Something I've got to live up here- amazing work, Paddy- just amazing! I think you'd find that if you'd used elastic the structure wouldn't be anywhere near as strong as it is now. The rigging on my balsa stick-and-tissue models always added a ton of strength to the flimsiest model.
Gotha- lurking under drafting table- oh, dear!

Re: Wing nut Wings FE2b
Chuk is absolutely right in that the strength of the construction is doubled once rigged and the lines tensioned with a soldering iron. i wonder how that is effected using stretch lines ?
This is the tail section framework
As you will guess this is also a spiders web of lines but as most dont have turn-buckles here i will drill holes and just stick the lines in place. It would be nice to do this as a separate item but i think it will distort if not fixed to the wings first. I hope to get at least some of the rigging done on the sides before fitting but lines across will pull the sides in and make fitting to the wings impossible i suspect.

Re: Wing nut Wings FE2b
I guess you have to be more careful with the elastic to make sure they are strung consistent?
