The shrink cover and adhesive seems a great system.I cannot imagine how much of a pain linen and dope would have been plus sewing the cover to the ribs. Looking good.
Your Camel build is coming along very nicely, Scott, well done! On my SE5a's wing roundels on the curved upper wing surface, I used the same trammel point system as on the flat lower wing surface. In other words, the distances between the center pivot point and the edge of each ring were the same for both upper and lower roundels... and these turned out very symmetrical visually. Thanks for these videos! Best regards, John SE5a
Looking really great Scott. I love biplanes so does my GF. I am a RC model builder. Working on two Fly Baby's with different color schemes. John from Hayden Idaho, USA can't wait to see it when its finished.
You do a perfect circle for the roundels. Mark the center of the circle and make yourself a compass and use that to make your concentric circles, just like you did on the fuselage, Nice job 👍
G'day Scott ! Yay Team ! All looking goodly... Last time I thought it through, 1 Cylinder 4-strokes go Bang once every 2 Revolutions, and their Poppet-Valves each open and close Once every 2 Turns of the Crankshaft.

Technology has definitely caught up.

You’re sure booming along now, well done!
Yeah thanks

Good tip!
Getting stuff done! Excited to see that Rotax installed. Well done Scott!
Rotec thanks
@@scottmatthews5280 Lol....rented fingers on the keyboard...its an old guy thing....
@@thewrenchreviews9986 LOL! I can't think of a worse tragedy if a Rotax was installed ... the Rotec is perfect!
A Verner 7 or 9 cyl would be a super choice for this Camel.
Rotec being a high revving gear box sound like a Rotax unfortunately.
@@dominiceller1821 it comes down to price and locality for me
Yay. My ‘Beano’ arrived! You’re doing an amazing job Scott. Keep up the good work. But please, more sanding videos 😂
I just wish this was a 2-seater😔
More to come!
Lookin good for sure!!
Thanks 👍
Great to see the engine! Not quite a Gnome but at least you wont be drinking castor oil while airborne!
Great point!
Power out in the Latrobe Valley? Damn.
Irony
I mean Blip switch gees
Hi Scott ... will you have 'lip' switch or no?
No blip switch on a modern engine like my Rotec. It has a mixture and throttle control.
G'day Scott !
Yay Team !
All looking goodly...

Never stopped to think that hard about it but that make sense.
