[warhawk]

Hello Modellers.
This is my first post and I hope this is the correct page. I am building the Guillow's Balsa P40 Warhawk Kit 405 I have made a few mistakes that I managed to correct, however I have a problem I am hoping a member could offer some assistance. Building up the fuselage with the B formers, I damaged the BB former that sits on top of B7 and want to make a new one from the plan which has been damaged and is useless to scan.
I was hoping someone would have a PDF file of the plan showing the BB former that I could download to scan.
Thanks.

hello everybody i am p40qmilj and most of you know me as i am active on hippocketaeronautics.com

i like to build balsa planes mostly from scratch but from time to time i'll do a kit or three just to see what's new. my last Guillows was the beaver #304 and it, being laser cut, was a real pleasure to build. the parts were precise, the weight of the wood was where it should be AND IT FLIES NICELY. i also like to modify these kits, scaling them up or down to fit in the 20 to 24 inch span range and by keeping the weight (all up) under 45 gms i have a good flyer.

Guillows, YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK BY LASER CUTTING AND USING LIGHTER WOOD. KEEP IT UP

Talk some more later

Hi,
My first balsa model is a Corsair Japs called it the whistling death in WW2. I chose the simple plan to build a
Rubber motor flyer. Everything done to Make it fly I’ll paint after a successful maiden flight. That is we’re I am stuck.
It came with a plastic cut out Crowell, propeller, rubber band, and a propeller hook for the rubber band.
When I crank it up,then release the prop, no expected spinning of prop. I need help
