RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

I like the revised position of the support cables.On the 1/4 version they pass right in front of the machine guns!

Looking great, Del! I think I am going top "steal' your idea for using plastic...

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

Del,
Any thoughts on how you are going to tackle a dummy engine?
Also,do you think a G62 or equivalent would be enough to power the 1/3rd size?

Best regards,

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

This doesn't concern the cables, but I thought I would share what I did with the fitting on the top of the cabane struts. On the GTM kit, the alum. cabane tubes come up and are bent...

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

I used grey primer, but it is going to flake off, already has started to. A number of people have used grey shoe polish or mixed black and white polish if you can't find grey, like I am going to do....

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

Dang, it is hard to find a good shot of this. However if you look closely at WF2's second link I think you can see how the front alum. section goes in place on top of(or over) the wing saddle plate....

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

Del,
I'm still looking for a shot of a genuine DRI that shows what I'm talking about, but for now here is a shot of the Memorial flight replica,which I no longer place 100% trust in. This is an...

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

Del,
I hope you can forgive me for being a nit-picky fussbuget, but here goes. Shouldn't the front aluminum panel be on top of the wing saddle panel, forming a kind of truncated cone shape? Then...

Del,
Glad to hear you're feeling better!
It looks like you haven't gotten to this point yet, so here goes.I don't know if the plans have changed from the 1/4 scale version but this regards the...

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

Del,
Looking really good! Only two more wings to go:D. Despite(or perhaps because of) being built with amost no balsa, I find Glenn's DRI wings to be the lightest of all my Fokkers.

Now I have...

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

You bet, I'm doing the rib taping now [sm=drowning.gif], so the cowl drilling doesn't seem so bad now.

RE: Glenn Torrence (GTM) 1/3 Scale Dr.1 Build Along

Del,

Looks great, as usual for you. It looks like the front plate of the cowl extends down a little further than the one that came in my 1/4 scale kit, which is an improvement. Looking at...
