Hi Dave Still on the subject of the Skyhawk,how did you make such a good job of conecting the wing struts, Guillows supply some bits of plastic, but god knows how you make agood job fitting them, Your advise would be appriciated BRBurns (Barrie) :?:

Mr. Ducket, i was so disopointed with the wing strut plastic ones that i havent even looked at the plane since i stoped on it. thats a wonderful kit, the spirit, guillows needs to fix all of those errors on the plastic bits before laser cutting.

i remade them out of balsa, clay, and some spackle but i have learned so much since i build the spirit i dont want to finish it.

by **ADW 123** » Thu May 05, 2011 4:55 pm

sounds like a good plan!

by **rbourque77** » Tue May 10, 2011 2:18 pm

Mr Duckett - now will you fill in the gaps with balsa or is it done?

by **Squishyp38** » Tue May 10, 2011 3:55 pm

umm.......... then Why is it on the plane? :?:

squish, if you look closely it looks like the decal is held on with some tape.

oh, my monitor has really bad colors, I couldn't see it! :oops:

by **ADW 123** » Tue May 10, 2011 4:13 pm
