Beechcraft Staggerwing

by Pauloar | May 22, 2013 | (8) Posted in Projects

Hey Guys,

 

I just have started my project within building a Beechcraft Staggerwing Model 1937. Reallz nice.

As I did not have any plants around, I decided to use all the technichs wich you guys from FLITETEST had tought us ..... I just made same-thing a bit different. Here in GErmany you can not find the exactly 1Dollar foam board as in US, therefore i choose a Foam Board which is a bit havy then nomal used material. The cuts, as you can see at the picture are made in both sides, this way I could easly fold the profile and maintain the hardness at the plane. 

I hope you enjoy-it...... I am....

:-)

Take all good care. Paulo!
