Re: On the workbench right now...
Looks good and the weight isn't bad either.
Re: On the workbench right now...
Very nice uhu; a sheeted fuse does look nice if it is done well and this looks great. What scheme are you going to do it in?
Re: On the workbench right now...
Hi,
so far, wings and tail finished. I don't think I'll add much details (fingers too thick for the kind of beautifull work Monique is doing...), but I stiil don't know whether I'll paint the fuse. I like the grainstructure of the balsa, but of course it's not authentic at all. Next are wheels, wheelpants and canopy.

The red dress looks nice:-)
It takes quite some time to build a Pitts, but at the end, it's worth, they look very nice.
First trim flights are close;-)

Re: On the workbench right now...
Some news from my newest Redwing.
It ist finished now and is awaiting its first flight. Weight is in the same range as my other Redwings (It is my 4. Redwing
)
For our meeting next month, three people announced to bring a Redwing to the field
Uhu, did you already fly your Redwing?

Ludo, that Pitts is looking great!
Roman, nice Redwing duo too. I like the Hibiscus on the wing!

Ludo, you live in Germany? If so, you should have had a nice weekend for flying. At least it was the case in switzerland...
I took the redwing to the field for some first flights. Trimming went well, I have the rough setting. Some more fine trimming will be on the program the next time.
On HPA someone sad that I should put a fire breathing dragon on the rudder... Sure I did obey...

Re: On the workbench right now...
Hi Roman, I live in Belgium. Weather was fairly good this weekend, but I hadn't the chance to fly the Redwing yet. Seems to be a good floater when I see your beautifull pics. What motor do you use?
