#rubberpowered

📄 Primeras pruebas de planeo, sustituyendo la hélice por un suplemento con su mismo peso para evitar la resistencia del aire.

En el próximo post se verá ya volando con esta modificación.

📄 Realicé este modelo, a escala Peanut, a raíz de una foto que encontré en una Enciclopedia de la Aviación.

This is Post 2 of the #HerrEngineering #PittsSpecial #rubberpowered #biplane I just finished. I absolutely love this plane’s looks! I wanted to go with a more sparkly blue, but it wasn’t available. BUILD NOTES: the fuselage came out short on the starboard side - not sure if that was due to plans or me. I think there should be at least one more stringer in the wings as the lower wing warped a little under shrinking. I was able to straighten the fuselage through shrinking. Covering isn’t perfect either, but good enough for me! The plane is balanced for flight, but I deem the landing gear too fragile - they will likely break off on touchdown. #sigmanufacturing #topflite #monokote https://www.instagram.com/p/B8wXzgchYR5/?igshid=1uku2ha2gst0s
