Giant Stearman / Moki250 Build

[Ramjet]

Yep the parts are adding up . I was just looking at how some guys are aligning the upper wing center section and it looks like a ton of fun . Trevor maybe you can make a jig , that way I can borrow it ,,LOL. great job so far ...

Just like a Carden. Most comfortable part of the build so far, LOL

Trevor what are you using for glue ..

Vogelsang Aeroscale’s Aerobond wood glue. Home Depot and Lowe’s sell something very similar.. Lepage’s Express wood glue. Applies white, dries clear, fast drying (10min), sands really nice - cuts sharp, no feathering.

The Aerobond is just a tad bit thicker in consistency over the Lepage’s stuff

Second side!!

Might be able to stand up a fuse tonight

Thanks Trevor ,I've been using something very much the same, just wanted to make sure there wasn't something much better these days .. Just realized I need a bigger build table LOL.. This plane is a monster ..

I agree but we beat him down to keep his ego in check!!
No builds for your John?

Nothing on the radar... I do have my GP Super Stearman to fix after introducing it to the fence.

We've taken a break from camping so there should (theoretically) be more time to fly. Got back into motorcycling after a 20 year absence, though... that'll eat up some time.

<Light bulb flickers on>

Could build a small trailer for the bike so I can take an airplane to the field in that...

Starting to look like a fuse

The other set of sticks.

Pressure applied with t-pins to get the fuse perfectly square.
