Model Sunday 11-14-10

Not a bad week.....The weather was nice, the food was good, and I'm still employed...What more could I ask for? Oh ya....Time to work on models......

The electronics arrived for the B-17 this week. They are awesome. It's still set up on the breadboard. My kids and dad want to see it operate before it gets installed and you can't see the craftsmanship that Clyde provides.



I can turn each light on independently and/or dim, start the engines and run them up, run an IFF sequence, turn the nav lights on, etc, etc, etc. If I just turn it on with the magnet, it runs a complete sequence.





The Right Aileron is about 80% complete. It's all hinged and just needs fine tuning and finishing.











I also started to detail out a Franklin Mint B-26 for a friend

Enjoy your day. I know I will........

Again, not much to report from the HFC bench. I was sick all week with a cold. The temperatures were bouncing around between 39 and 77 degrees for a few days. Perfect weather for viruses. I'm still skiving leather and making seats. Like I mentioned before, the interior is one of the most labor intensive parts of any model. Hopefully by the next weekend, I'll be able to start on the back seat. If not then, the next week or the next or the----------
