RE: FunAero S.E.5a build

Oh, I really hope to continue it at the soonest possible point in time. Unfortunately my free time is hovering slightly above zero these days, what with the new baby and new job. I actually brought...

RE: FunAero S.E.5a build

Yeah, he's a great little addition. The only problem is that with a two month old, a three year old, a six year old, and a heavy work schedule, I've absolutely no time left over for R/C aircraft. ...

RE: FunAero S.E.5a build

Oh, there'll be no more little pilots from this flight school! He's number three, and I fully intend to have a permanent kink placed in my fuel lines now, if you catch my drift [:@]

RE: FunAero S.E.5a build

She's a beauty! I just got the news the other day that FunAero are now shipping the 'deluxe' Williams Bros. additions to the kit, so hopefully I'll be having the guns and pilot delivered soon. I'm...

RE: FunAero S.E.5a build

Hehe, I'm trying, I'm trying. Unfortunately work hasn't eased up any and my wife won't be getting any less pregnant until the end of February, so my model building hours have been severely...

RE: FunAero S.E.5a build

Hehe - if you look at the last build post then you'll see that I'm not that successful at managing work, home and build at the same time. To tell the truth over the last month or so work's been so...

RE: FunAero S.E.5a build

My ankle's finally feeling better now, so it was time to test out the basement stairs and complete the sheeting of the fuselage.

I've got a 'perfect storm' of incidences happening at the moment:

That's exactly what I plan on doing Tom! I have a Sullivan remote glow starter and an MPI voltwatch switch/charging harness ready to mount. I'd been thinking about including a pilot in the cockpit...

After a busy weekend visiting the in-laws in Iowa I finally had a chance to make some progress on the plane:

RE: FunAero S.E.5a build

Work pressures have stepped up this week, so until last night I just didn't have the time or energy to spend in the basement. Last night I really needed some 'balsa therapy' though, so I decided to...

RE: FunAero S.E.5a build

You know, I've been hearing very similar comments from a lot of people who own this model. I certainly think it'll be a hit at our local flying field.

Out of interest how does the S.E.5a fly? ...

RE: FunAero S.E.5a build

RE: FunAero S.E.5a build

Hehe, well thanks :) I've certainly made mistakes on this kit, but so far I've kept them minor and easily fixable. Every time I have an 'oops' moment I just remember what my old driving instructor...
