      Thanks! I’m finally back working on the Trojan again after a little hiatus (I published a book and built a new website since this last vid 😆 www.artofscalemodeling.com) I should have the next installment posted mid July. Next step is the retracts and doors which I’m about half way through at the moment.

    15:58 Rear Canopy fit. Ha Ha, I flew them and when in the rear seat-for the Radio Instrument or RI phase of primary training under "The Bag", there was about a one or more inch gap on either side of the canopy open to outside air. Even in FL, but at 15K Ft. with O2 mask on, in January, it was cold! Could stick your fingers into the gap. We used to practice an instrument arrival procedure called a penetration. Supercharger back to low at 12,500, dump the nose, pop the board and point the nose down in the course according to the arrival procedure. So maybe the Mfgr was better than you think...BTW the heater operated on gas which meant it reduced your range. So you bundled up. As you can imagine the guy up front is toasty while the GIB is frosty. So there you go. Nice build. Does it have a speed brake?

    Hi Chris
    Hope you well.
    Regarding the T28 build will you be posting videos on how you installed the Saito, also the fitting of the Sierra retracts. My T28 has just arrived from the USA thanks to my good friend in Indiana and would love to see how you have done yours. Love your videos and appreciate the time you take in making them. Many thanks.

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek  Před měsícem +1

    Oh man! It’s gettin real! Love the pilots! It looks amazing. Will the retracts be next? Would rubbing some candle wax on the surfaces where the canopy slides help it glide a bit smoother? Just a thought…

    That's a nice model and affordable that's what I like the most. Are you going to weather it and is there any major wrinkles in the film? I've seen some wrinkles on other planes from Legend.

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek  Před 5 měsíci +1

      I do plan to do some detail and weathering work on top of the covering. Wrinkles are very typical for an oracover finish but are easily taken care of with a heat gun.

      Nice! I hate to say, but I’m running a bit behind on the build as I’ve had a ton of things happening behind the scenes. The next video will be the retracts and gear doors followed by the engine install and setup. At the moment, I’m not sure when the next installment will post just yet. 😬

      @@Thercgeek I'll be keeping up with your build for sure. I have a "fix" for installing the radial after talking to Adrian @ch-ignition, so I don't mind passing it on as I am determined to install it on my plane. Once I install it, I'll let you know how it works out. Keep up the great work. You're doing a great job.

    Do you use silicone grease on the joint pins of those hinges before you glue them in ?

      I used 3in1 oil to preserve the hinge points. Works great! 😊
