Caught by chance the last 3/4's of the 1941 movie "Dive Bomber" with Errol Flynn and Fred McMurray. However the real stars of the film were the late pre-war...

Actually, I had something wrong. After number three in the section, the cowl rings were painted in quarters, so that everyone could tell visually what...

Hi, I am going to Japan and will be in Hakodate from 3/4 until 3/10. I would like to meet some builders there . If possible please e-mail me at...
Friends, I realize that talked most thoroughly about getting the Shinden to fly, it sounds at the very least possible, but I just read up some new information...
Hi Andy, Interesting stuff, it certainly makes sense. I have a peanut scale Shinden that has fair performance. If I build another, I will try a reflex...
On several Diels kit models that incorporate a tissue fillet at the wing root, you might find this easier on certain models (with only a small weight penalty)...
The point is to get away from the cut and fit bond paper or thin balsa fillets and build structural fillets with tissue-covered bays WHEN POSSIBLE. (After...
Diels Engineering, Inc. is now accepting payment by PayPal for those who want to order and pay by credit card through that system. Check out the instructions...
Hi Nate, I have not had a big problem with trailing edge fillets using paper but can see the advantage of some support for them. The area that still puzzles...
One solution I have found is to splay the ribs (aft end outward, fronts inward) to place the trailing ends at the fillet line and the heads in line with the LE...
Oh yeah, one more thing. I think that the he tissue grain of a concave ESAKI fillet covering should be crossways (up and down, across the trough rather than...
It is interesting that you mention angling the rib to support the fillet. I recently purchased a Spitfire kit based on an old plan. (not a Diels kit) The root...
Gene, Wouldn't it be possible (and maybe easier) to use building shims under the TE to build in washout in each panel? Don't know, as I can't see the plan,...
Both Stahl's 26" MkI and Easy Built's FF7 35" MkI have the slanted base ribs to which the wing halves are fitted. can't remember if the tops are canted inward...
Nate, The wing chord at the root is just over 5" and the front of the root rib is 7/8" closer to the CL than the rear of the root rib. I understand what you ...
Gene, Yes, I get it. That is a good fix for the Spit, as the very fwd portion is a flat center section. It might be better to do it like this, don't know,...
Oh yeah, the real Sonia has its pants designed OPEN on one side for maintenance, as does the Ann. Many Sonias, Anns, Marys, Nates etc flew with the pants...
