There was another Kadet SR build thread on here recently. I did mention on there the consideration of a bolt-on tail. If you have a large car or minivan, then bolt on tail is not necessary. But if you have a mid-size car or smaller, you might want to consider it. I posted some pictures of how I did mine. if you are interested I can repost it here. |

Re: Well It's Started Finally some pics, I goofed on the fuse build - I should have put the F2 & F4 formers in 1st to create the base of the structure. Instead I put the backend together missing a couple of steps. Having to go back created a bit of a problem. So, after thinking about it, I grabbed some 6" Ardox nails & a framing hammer Actually, how 'bout that wonderful pin vice & itty bitty drill bit. This will allow me to precisely place the formers after the fact. Pre-drilled the hole into the fuse & former and stuck pins in to hold the former in place while the glue dries. The 4th photo is where I'm at in the build.

Re: Well It's Started ?? I don't want to sound rude, but maybe read the thread through. This is more or less my Balsa USA 1/4 Scale J-3 Cub thread, the Cub project was pushed ahead because I was short parts to finish my Kadet Senior and I didn't feel like wasting my life away in front of the TV or Computer. |

Re: Well It's Started I am wondering why you would be using a water based glue on a bush-float plane? I would use only epoxy and ca as like it calls for,using epoxy for strength everywhere only adds weight which is what you do not want to do. Just my thought as i'd put floats on it for an awesome funfly float plane. |

Re: Well It's Started Yeah I kinda decided it's going to be quicker & easier to make a new one than straightening the old one or waiting for a new one to come from BUSA. |

 For the $2 that a new piece of straight ply would cost , it's not worth farking around trying to straighten the piece you have . I know you guys are short on trees down there in Coronation Russ , but there are lots elsewhere .

Re: Well It's Started ...I asked my carpenter buddy and he told me the following: 1/4" plywood is (in his opinion, I'm just offering this second hand) just about thin enough to respond to a flattening technique, but that's about as thick as you could get away with. Basically it's in the quality of the wood...less quality ply is more prone to warping and generally can't be fixed. And it depends how many plys of course. However, unless its shape is strongly held it will usually warp back again. |
