The J O B has slowed, but not my progress on this Ryan STA. Back in the office tomorrow and Monday, but more time off next week. Started sneaking up on the wing struts and wires, flaps and ailerons aligned and hinged, and it’s time to power it up to check all movements. After that, the 1/8th inch sheeting wil cover it all up.

Woke up to thunderstorms this morning so I headed into the shop - YIPPEE! As much as I like flying, building is just as much fun.
The pushrods got connected to the flight control surfaces, the reciever went in (Spektrum 636), and servos were connected.
IT’s ALIVE!
hatch was cut shortly after sheeting the upper deck forward section, got lower forward and part of the upper rear deck sheeted as well.7 Photos

Again, doesn’t look like much but the last sheet balsa went down and the fuselage front shaped and attached. Cowl wil fit forward of that round over, and used a 1/2 inch round in the shaper. Didn’t take pic, but my friend got my gear welded up for the flying wire bracket and wheel pant brackets.4 Photos

I’ve only ever used water or steam, but am strategic about it. Learned from some old timer boat builders (full size and model) back in VA. Never tried amonia or Windex but I can see the logic and hear it works great.
Enjoying the progress on the B-17 when I have to watch glue dry!
