Biggles87 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 A lot of my early Chipmunk flying with the ATC was done wearing an oxygen mask which didn't bother me at all, but the dentist's mask, as Keith says Aaaaargh take it away. Comng along nicely now, apart from the PE. I think there must be something in the manufacturing process which stretches it because it's almost the norm for the PE to be larger than the plastic it's supposed to fit on, very annoying.

Not for those who fear the Dentist, but I liked it Mrs B read that today was the day to clean out the nesting box so I obediently climbed up to the tree, took down the box and then slipped down the bank onto the stone steps grazing several parts of my anatomy. I'm now feeling sorry for myself and not able to type that well so a short update. Ready for closure I think: 13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, hope your grazes heal up soon and you can get the fuselage closed up. Have to say I didn't realise there was a specified nesting box cleaning out day!

CedB Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 Welcome Ian and Johnny, nice to have you along Thanks Giorgio, Roger, Benedikt and Simon Thanks Tony and Keith - the box will be cleaned but NOT wearing a mask! Crisp I hope you get special dental care… but you've not made it clear if yours is one of the good ones! I'll assume yes… As expected things are a bit sore, stiff and sensitive this morning (steady chaps) so little done. I did fit the windows with some GG (can we shorten Gator's Grip to that now?): There's a raised frame on one side of the part so I made sure that was on the outside. Note the high-tech pickup tool, suggested here on BM; BluTak on a stick (was it Giorgio?) Much better than the others I've used to be honest: - the vacuum pen sucks (har har) - the wax pencils leave a residue and - the sticky sticks won't let go or, for the expensive 'pen' one, the end falls off. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 Dry fitting for close up. Hmmm. The instructions would have you mount the floor sort of under the frame, a bit like this: Flickr …but then I don't think it will stay there on closing up: Front and back cockpits there. Doesn't look as though the extra frame bits join up either. Hmmm. I'd better stick the radio table on before I go much further: I'm getting used to the quick setting TET. If you hold the parts together, apply the cement and press a little you can see the stuff flash off almost immediately and it grips quickly. Nice. While the table was drying I fitted the cockpit floor and ran TET down one side: That shows that you shouldn't take close up photos at this scale. Ahem. I hope the i/p fits - we shall see - but that's used up my patience for today. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Thanks Ian I don't bounce much at all nowadays… more squidge and wobble. Yesterday was another trip to UWE, this time for a 'Flourish Project' session. Just a chat session really seeking views on what older people want from autonomous vehicles. Interesting, and there was cake so worth the trip. I'm still working on the floor, a real mojo killer. I've chiselled away some of the frame: Flickr … including a nick for the radio table. I also decided I had to remove the floor and sand some off that: Used my new 'big flat sanding stick' purchased from Mr Flory himself for jobs like this. Have to say it is good at keeping things flat. I still have a little way to go: (what has that focussed on?) when I get some more mojo. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
