Here\u2019s a weird little plane based on the Pou du Ciel light plane of the 1930s. \u00a0Not a true scale model, the design is simplified for easy building.<\/p>\n
In the short kit, the 3\/32 ply rear wing mount blocks in the fuselage have been changed to 1\/8 ply for simplicity.\u00a0 The forward mount is 2 layers of 1\/8 ply, and the rear mount is one layer of 1\/8 ply, and both of these mount blocks are installed under the balsa top.<\/p>\n
The kit includes front wing struts made of laminated 1\/8 ply, but feel free to use spruce as called for on the plan.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know why you would want a 1\/16 ply rib in the center of the wing where the wing bolts go through, so I changed the center ribs to 3\/16.<\/p>\n
Because a 1\/4 inch ply firewall doesn\u2019t make a lot of sense in a 10 size plane, I\u2019ve changed the firewall to a single layer of 1\/8 ply.<\/p>\n
You ought to build one of these.\u00a0 As the photo demonstrates, chicks dig it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
