Excellent construction, congratulations on the rc plane, I'm a fan of balsa wood constructions, but I currently build my model airplanes out of styrofoam.
Hi Andy, back in the 90's I learned of another way to make a release method for wing fillets: packing tape and clear underarm deodorant. Makes a very glassy and near perfect seam where the wing joins the fuselage.
Great video and progress!! Shot in the dark, but can you make a video of you covering the CAP? It’s my Achilles heel and watching you, especially around the tail would be beneficial to 7/8 of your audience. Can’t wait to see this beast fly!
Take a piece of covering to Lowes, they have a spectrophometer there, they can shoot the covering and make you a 1/2 paint of paint for around $6, it will match dead on, shoot some clear on it, done.
Looks nice as usual. I hope you spice up the covering scheme. I know you’re a purist at heart and it means more for you to build based off of the original scale airplane. That scale airplane didn’t have A. Gideon covering it either.
Beautiful job!…agree, the covering for such an iconic plane is the French registration 👍…cheers from Munich, Sven🍺

@@NateG3678 it's a possibilty...... it would be a long video full of bleeps!

Andy that is looking gorgeous! I can not wait to see it covered, good luck in covering!! I agree about the monokote issue!

@@hughobrien4139 there are a few schemes I like for this one but the original is the way to go
Nice! Thanks for the explanation on the fairings.
A Snap 21 ;) . . . never had one that was not kinda sensitive in the Pitch regime. Not one of my favorite Airplanes. Good stuff Andy!
@@whoisjohngalt5258 that's the idea! I hope she's a bit snappy
Any reason you didn’t use the fiber reinforced 3M spackling for the wing to fuselage fillets?
@@dalehickl3611 that area didn't need the good stuff since it was getting glassed
Bro you gonna need another project!
@@flyboywbl so many on the list!
Great work as always, will it fly on this side of Xmas?
@@WarbirdPiLOT thanks! Wont fly till spring
