wordguy Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Hello from Colorado. My interests revolve around small flying scale airplanes (Peanut Scale) but I find this site valuable as a source of info on all things relkating to building small.

exwafoo Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 A technique is a technique. Cross-pollination can be good. And I have seen Planes in a bottle as well, so you might get the bug. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordguy Posted November 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Good morning exwafoo and DSiemens. Ex, I actually have the airplanes-in-bottles book, and if I could figure out a way to make them fly, I'd probably build a couple (been stashing bottles for years). D, what part of Colorado? I'm in Brighton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSiemens Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Thorton. Sounds like I'm not far frome you. Do you fly rc or rubber band. I used to do rubber band as a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewH Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hi, Wordguy I, too, am a Peanut and Pistachio flyer - love your Bebe! Did you make the wheels yourself? I did a pair of silk ones with balsa tyres (sorry, Brit spelling) for a Bristol Scout. I still have the wheels but no the plane Welcome aboard, or possibly: welcome into the bottle andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordguy Posted November 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 D, I fly rubber. During the summer, at a huge site that used to be a Titan missile base; during the winter, at any of several indoor venues. Locally, we fly at Wings over the Rockies Air and Space Museum - happy to PM you our proposed schedule if you wish. Andrew, I haven't the courage for pistachio. Yes the wheels are home-brew. Find my stuff (including "wheel loom") at hip pocket aeronautics, builder's plan gallery, wordguy. The only SIB I have under way at the moment is a diorama-ish sort of thing of the Canadian corvette HMCS Ville de Quebec ramming U-224. Got discouraged by the water (i have the sense that's a common refrain [sigh]) JesseLee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSiemens Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Yeah please do. It would be fun to see some good rubber band stuff. I built a few giullows kits and never could get the stupid things to fly. We can definitely help you with water. There's a ton of methods. Post a build log of your diarama. I'd love to see what you have so far. JesseLee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
