Sorry Scot. Got the wrong name...

I did some high res drawings to different scales in Photoshop. They are PSD files. I can send them to you if you'd like or collapse them into jpegs. They are just redrawn 3-views to scale.

Hi Bryan,
I don't know about Peter but I'd like a look at them. I am interested in the winglets and what angle they're at ( I assume 0 incidence to the forward movement) I was thinking of going with the PSU 94-097 since it's for low speed aircraft.......and I can take the image to a copy machine and make different size templates. I was going to forgo the forward elevated section since the wingtip airfoil is so thick....




Playing with the engine and cowl.....

That thing is wicked!

Scot! I just noticed this. I drew up some plans for the "T" model last year and was going to do the same mod. Very cool! Let me know if you want my scale drawings of the Z37T.

Here's a drawing I modified back in July.

Very interesting!

Second that! The red angel and the flying tiger graphics are an absolute must. Amazing work as always, Scott. You're my hero!

Going with a split cowl and Ring mount so I added the divider (two layers of 1" standard fiberglass tape ( Partall Film #10 brushed on the top cowl )



and then I couldn't stand it any longer and just had to get it out of the mold.......


YEA !! !!

Wouldn't it be nice to have some of those fancy bladders to put in there to hold the glass in place in an assembled mold? Nice work with a tedious process!

[MarnochS]

Thanks Mike.

Two layers of 5.8 oz plain weave. On the intake scoop to spinner transition, it's a bit of a severe angle.....found if I cut a 1" strip at a 45 degree angel to the weave, it lays down nicely.



Reinforcing tapes and some 410 microlight fairing filler on the intake scoop.

Nice work with the plug and molds. Builds arm muscle, too!

Successful Extraction ...YEA !!!






After some cleanup with solvent to get the primer out ....time for the Frekote Mold Sealer ( FMS ) wipe on process.

Well Done Scott, really great work!

Productive day on the Cowl mold
Saw a video on YouTube where they used the partall wax to seal the seams and thought I'd give that a try......It would work really good if I'd have painted my plug with a two part epoxy primer. Since it was only rattle can primer, the wax partially removed some of the primer ( food for thought next time....). Other than that, it worked great......



Then on to the other side......



Now, the real trick will be to extract the plug........

[MarnochS]

So....the hot melt glue did a little damage to the plug, not much , just melted the primer......on a good note, the Frekote 700-NC is super cool as the parting board came off with out a problem.



Next step is the front parting board.....a little more challenging to construct but the construction paper made is pretty simple.
