Frank’s Model Aviation Workshop
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 31 ธ.ค. 2006
This channel is dedicated to my love of building Flying Model Airplanes. Whether it’s Stick and Tissue kits, or Radio Controlled, I’ve always loved building airplanes.
I started building Stick and Tissue kits when I was around 10 years old. My dad was into Control Line Airplanes, and he inspired me to learn how to build, and cover airplane models. He taught me everything I needed to know to get started, and I’ve been building, and flying model airplanes on and off for over 4 decades.
I started building and flying RC Airplanes in the early 1990’s. I was never into ARF airplanes. The kit built airplanes always looked so much better to me.
My favorite kits to build are Carl Goldberg kits. They go together pretty quick, and fly great. I’ll be building a few Top Flite Gold Edition Warbirds in the near future on my channel as well as a few more Goldberg kits.

Nice Job! I have a Goldberg Extra 300 I am starting soon. What brand of paint did you use for the cowl and wheelpants?
Thank you! I used Rustoleum spay paint.
Hello Frank, hope everything is well, we miss your videos, wondering how do you keep your leftover covering organize?. I will appreciate some tips,Thank you.
I just keep them in a box. Most of the time, I don’t have too much left over. Things are good. I’m getting the itch to start building again. Thanks for asking. 👍
What is your building board constructed from ?
I use 5/8” sheet rock/drywall. Pins go in easy.
G'day Frank, Thank you so much. Hey did you complete the Nobler build and fly it ?. We have the exact N-1 Plan. We are at this time, cutting the kit (manually, by hand) to build 2. We are also scratch building the Veco Hurricane x 2. Stay Safe, Stay Well Regards from Australia Stefan and Annette
@stefanandannettekarotkavit7436 that’s awesome! No, I haven’t finished it yet. Where the build videos left off is where it sits. Someday.
@@FranksModelAviationWorkshop Look forward to seeing them, aeroplane and video
I like to see how other people build ..... nice job, thankyou I learnt a lot from watching 😊
Great build series 🤙🤙 Thank you , learning building skills . I’ve been building since 96. First kit was a CG gentle lady. It lasted about 30 seconds 😂🤣 What’s those lil squares called?
What size perma grit block is that ? 12” ?
I use 11” & 22” Perma-grit blocks.
Awesome videos, love to find me one of those kits. Shipping to Hawaii probably be high 300$ plus .
They’re getting harder to find, and the scammers are increasing in number. Not sure how much shipping would be, but I mailed a Top Flite .60 size P-40 kit to Guam, and it cost $90.
The Carl Goldberg kits and the sanding tools they had in the kits for making a sander for getting the correct angle for a hinge point, could have used one in all the Great Planes kits. Makes no big difference today, we have lost them with time. ☹ Building is therapeutic, if Big Pharma could bottle and sell it, the kit companies would still be with us today.
Hey Frank, did you get the pivot point ctr line for the retracts from the spar on the plan?
Correct.
LOL, A 10-footer paint job? 🤣 Hope all is okay, been rewatching some of the videos and missing the conclusion of the SU-26.
Lol! All is ok. I’ve been itching to get back at it. I’d like to finish the Sukhoi before spring hits.
Hello Frank's, I wait I wait your video for built F4U Top flite Corsair ....And happy new year .
I put one of these together when they first came out , I loved all the Carl Goldberg planes . Started with the humble eaglet.25 size . Then the tiger , also the os max .25 The Chipmunk was next with the OS .91 four stroke, awesome combo !!! The Ultimate was a Big challenge, took me over a year to complete, thought I could do it in a couple of months 😂 originally put a OS.91 four stroke in it flew like it was on rails,and knife Egde were awesome. But a lot of guys were using the YS Super charged four strokes ,I had to get MINE !!!!!! What a beast that was !!!!! The YS could be finicky,but it was worth it 😂😂😂😂 Your build turned out great I still have an extra that needs to be built,maybe you’ve given me the spark I needed !!!!!
Awesome story! I have an Extra that needs built as well. Currently, I’m building the Sukhoi SU26MX.
Great maiden! Sure wish the wind wasn't so brisk, the wind noise hindered the recording.
Thanks! I was using my phone to record the maiden. It was really windy that day.
We’re did you get that wood planer? And when is the fuselage build video coming out? Thanks.
I bought the razor plane from Bruce Kimball. His contact email is iflyhlg@hotmail.com. The fuselage videos will come after I’m done with the wing. I’ve had a few life altering things go on the past few months that have taken priority over the TH-cam videos. I will continue the build as soon as possible.
Thanks for the info hope all is well. Just got the duragrit sander for those perfect 90* on the bench thanks to you and a mini table saw. Building a CG extra from scratch. I’m getting a CG Sukhoi V1 in the mail soon the one with the landing gear mounted to the wing. I was wondering if there is some way I could exchange information on how to convert my V1 to a V2 to mount my gear to the fuselage. Thanks, Jack.
what engine did you use?
I used a DLE 20RA with a 16/8 Xoar WWII prop.
I guess it will take sometime so you go back to the builds hahahah congratulations and happy holidays! <3
Thanks! There’s a few life events happening, but I’ll be back as soon as I can. 👍
Yep, and the details are great. I have asked some pretty dumb questions but Frank keeps his cool
There are no dumb questions. 🤷♂️👍
Frank, Tyson again, so if I take a little Dewalt vertical laser line down the ctr of your plane would the end of your prop be off ctr?
Yes, by 2 degrees.
😅
@HenryTyson 😂
Frank, new to building so dumb question , is the prop center on the firewall?
The engine mounts offset to account for right thrust.
Ok, thanks for the quick answer. When you look at the nose it's actually offset from ctr. after you shape it. I'm a retired GC so I'm not getting it, sq. plumb and level
R u and Mike not building anything rite now?
We’re taking a break, but I’m getting close to getting back to work on my Carl Goldberg Sukhoi kit.
Very impressive work. Thanks for the videos.
Thank you! There’s more to come. 👍
Hi Frank, have not seen anything from you for a while. Hope all is well with you.
Thanks for noticing. All is well. The build will continue soon. I want to get this Sukhoi finished, so I can start the next build.
Hi Frank, do you still have a p40 available? I have been looking for a while.
Unfortunately, I only have one more kit. I’m planning on building it for myself. I gave the last one away to my brother. Sorry.
"Check that box"? Thanks for the laugh and sorry to see that event happen for you. Hope all is well with you, hope you will have some new content for us soon. Your channel is wonderful to watch, and I like the longer videos. The long ones are great, as I have your build videos going in the background as I am building my planes. All the best to you and your family.
When I sand balsa, indoors I use a dust collector and face mask. Outdoors I don’t worry about the dust,balsa can be a real respiratory irritant.
Hey Frank, I for real am getting ready to start a 70-in p47 razorback from zeroli. If I had any questions, would it be okay to send you like a picture and maybe a description of what my question is? Would you be willing to maybe answer a question or two if I asked you or is that getting too personal?
You can ask questions. Whether, or not I have a good answer for you is another story. Lol
Ok thank you Frank and from what I've seen of you, you've got plenty of good ideas
Frank, if it ain't perfect it ain't real far off from it. I'll tell you that much. It looks great! I would be very proud of that build. I think it looks fantastic
I hope you got your push rods done. You're filling in that turtle deck where you can't get in there now so if you don't have those push drops done you're going to have a hell of a time with them and you just tired a big crease right down the center turtle deck you'll see it in a minute....
You know Frank, there are not a whole lot of videos out there that shows the plane being built from start to finish. There just isn't. There's a couple but not many men. So good for you man for making one. I appreciate it. Thank you!
Boy it just makes all the difference when you take the time to fill in all the dents real carefully and sand it all back flat and make sure everything's all nice before you ever start to cover it just really pays off don't it? It sure shows in your build and it sure is pretty... Im getting ready to start a 70in. zirrolli P-47 rb.... I intend to use some of the techniques I learned from watching you Frank, so thank you buddy
I’m glad you like the content, and are pulling techniques out to use in your own builds. 👍
My only question about the wings is how are you going to get to those servos if you ever have a problem with them? You didn't make the servo covers removable you glued them in instead of screwing them down. Unless you have some way to get to them from the other side I don't think you could be able to get to them
I’d have to cut into the wing. I was trying to keep the weight down.
Those are awesome servos you're using for the wing. They're fast. They're strong, they're light, and they're small and they dissipate heat well
Is that turtle deck just cardboard? That's what it looks like to me. I can't tell for sure but it looks like it's all cardboard to me, huh? No, it's just the veneer a real thin piece of ply and it looked like cardboard from a distance. At least that's what I think it is. Wouldn't know for sure unless I was in the room with it but that's what it looks like
1/32” plywood
sure missin franks build videos, hope all is well
You, and me both! Lol. I’ll be back at it soon. Winter is coming, and all the yard work is about done. Stay tuned! 👍
hey Frank! where did you get the aluminum spinner? looks awesome
It’s a Dave Brown Ultimate spinner. 👍
beautiful. thank you good sir. Great build BTW
I have an Ultimate 10-300 (Black Box) that I was thinking of selling. After watching your series (most of it) I am not selling it anymore. :) I have noticed your affinity for Carl Goldberg models. Is there any particular reason for this?
That’s an easy question! Carl Goldberg kits are easy to build. They build fast, and the fly awesomely! It’s as simple as that.
Hello Frank! awesome build, I love the ultimate. How can I get my hands on those foam wings kit from Bob Hunt? is there a website/email I can contact? Thank you
Message me, and I’ll give you his number. Not sure if he’s still going them. He’s in his late 70’s, early 80’s.
Alright! I just requested access to the FB group so I can message you over there. Thank you good Sir
😭 awwe man, so sorry to see that happen. Even after seeing the title though, I watched anyway. Terrific build. Splendid covering.
Thanks! Yeah, that really sucked! I found another Extra 300 kit to build again, one of these days. 👍
Very nice! Back in the 90’s we used to put flying wires on the tail because it would crack if you got to Violent with the maneuvers.
Frank, where are you finding these models? From what I can tell, Carl Goldberg went out of business a while back. There are a couple of Tiger 60s on eBay for $500+, but I don't see anyone selling new production kits.
I find them on eBay, and RC groups. I’ve been collecting vintage, out of production kits for decades. There are people reproducing the old kits, but I like building the originals. 👍
Frank, Do we have a video of a flight? Been looking forward to it!
Not yet! Flying season is almost over where I live, and I just don’t have the time these days. I will do a maiden fight video when it happens. 👍
thumbs up!
hope you are doing well.
Frank, that P4 0 flies like she's floating on a cloud. You built her light and it shows she flies really, really docile. I doubt you'll be dropping too many wings with this one....way to go my brother!!!!!💯💯🔥🔥🔥🤙🤙🤙
Thank you! It was fun to build it too. 👍
This model still available? Cheers mate
It’s hanging in my brother’s living room.
This popped up in my feed and made me excited that Frank is back then I notice it was posted over a year ago. 😢
I hsve a Topflight GS P 51 built up wing i bought from someone. How do i measure the washout in the wing tips ? I've read 2 degrees is needed in large warbirds.
The jig tabs on the ribs have the washout built in. No need to measure it.
Thanks forgot to mention the wing was from a kit.
What I know about to this model it's Capable of doing inverted flat spins.. Veary well.. outstanding building skills..
Cool! Thanks!
Meu amigo me deu um kit desse só que asa precisa se refeita é eu preciso de uma plata para fazer se vc puder me ajudar vou ficar muito feliz.
Olá Frank's tudo bem muito legal seus vídeos como eu consigo uma planta do Sukhoi 26
Thank you! You can find a kit on eBay sometimes, but they’re usually pretty expensive.
Hobbyist enjoy..building as much as flying..remember the glue was ambroid glue ...back in the days of building from scratch..unlike today's owner operator arfs....
Hello Frank. Where can I get such a wonderful ruler and what kind of pen is it? Nice to see how precisely you build
That ruler can be found on Amazon. It’s a clear flexible ruler. www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQCGTZRG/ref=sspa_mw_detail_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9kZXRhaWwp13NParams
