Hi Al, On your picture of tiny card models (#2) there is a small twin engine flying wing that looks like a Northrop N9M. Is there any chance that you could...
Justin, the twin engine flying wing is a N1M. We built it from scratch using a 3 view from a vac form plastic model kit. We developed a set of patterns for...
Justin and anyone else interested in the N1M, we've started a folder 'card models' in the files section. In it we've uploaded the patterns for a card model of...
Hey All! I need some help here I have built a a comet nickle cessna and need some suggestions for a propeller my model balances nice, glides real well but when...
John, I'm not very knowledgeable, as I consider myself still a beginner. Is it possible that you have too much power for the airplane. Have you reduced the...
John, are you flying indoor or outdoor? What size rubber are you using, and what size prop? Caley's suggestion of 1/8 rubber is not to be taken seriously, a...
Dear Caley, my comment was not to critisize you but just a warning. It was very clear to me that the 1/8 was just an example. I was just making sure that...
John, I know this an old message, but I just had to respond. I built the same model and put a 3" Ksun prop on it with a long red rubber band out of a hundred...
Hey Sid! I think I got my propblem solved I got to digging thru my stuff and I had a couple 4" sleek streak props from easy built well I got to looking at them...
Hello, I found this forum over on the Small Flying Arts forum. This is my first post here. I am building the 10" WS PUP Biplane found at Mike Stuart's website...
Let's put it this way: it will definitely fly fine without washout. If you want to do it, then go ahead, but I personally don't think it's necessary for this...
How is the building of your Pup Biplane coming along. I would be interested in seeing pictures of it and finding out how it flys. The Frog series of...
Hey Al, Thanks for the interest. So far, I have cut out the sheetwood and have been considering putting tissue on the entire structure, not just the fuselage....
Thank you, Joshua. Good to know. Perhaps, you could give me a quick aerodynamic lesson on why a biplane does not generally need washout. Does having two...
Hey RD, Keep me posted on how you go, thats next on my to-build list. I just finished the Minnow, have to make a few adjustments to the power set up, and it...
... What an excellent idea! Let's do it! I'll make it official. The first cookup for the Minute Models group for 2007 will be a model from the Frog Junior...
Did not know I was starting something by inquiring about the FROG series! The cookup sounds good to me. I am building the PUP in between another build, so...
There is no time limit, RD. The 'cookups' here are very laid back. Outside of the '12 inch rule' there are none. Just build and have fun and post your...
Cool, these are some of my favorite models. from what I recall they build pretty quick. I finshed everything except for the prop on the minnow in one week,...
I've started on the Pup and I think it looks a little like a Hawker fury, So I thought I'd make a few changes to the design to make it look even more like one....
The Minnow looks real dandy, Arjuna. Nice finishing details. My PUP Is progressing. Have the formers and fuselage sides together; working on the top decking....
Arjuna, How do you make your thrust adjustments on a small model like the Minnow? I have used magnets, which work nicely, but on these 8 to 10 inch models...
RD, what size wood are you using on the PUP ? I used 1/32 (0.8mm) on the Minnow because I was trying to keep it as light as possible. It ended up at 9.3 grams...
Arjuna, I do all my flying outdoors, so I tend to like a little heft to handle a slight breeze. I am using 1/16th for the PUP, except 1/32nd for the top...
I do all my flying outdoors as well, I used 1/32 because I was'nt very confident in my ability to build it lightly enough, I think I over compensated. I think...
Arjuna, Your PUP fuselage looks good. If the details of the Minnow are any indication, you are underestimating your skills. My PUP should be finished in the...
