Re: 27% 170B build
I'm impressed with the entire project, especially the door hinges and latches. That's great work. And I don't need shrunk down to 27%, I'm already a small guy. You might even need to fab some rudder pedal extensions when you let me test fly it

Arash,
That photo of the left side from behind looks like an actual 170 with a wood-grain paint job!

Arish, I notice on the full scale model you have foam on the flap trailing edges but not on the 27% model. You must not be hitting your for-head on the 27%er!

I wondered about that. A few feet of corner stock.
Seriously looking great.

Been watching and wondering...since it's made from wood are you going to paint a termite on the cowling? Fantastic work!
Keep your speed up, Blackhawk on final behind you.

Re: 27% 170B build
You know we've been seeing pictures of this airplane all along. And we have seen it against other objects of known size. And I know and realize this is not your miniature indoor variety RC model. HOWEVER, this picture has got to have an optical illusion. There is no way that plane is as big as it appears on the couch. Holy Cow, maybe Del could test fly it.

Unreal! Love the detail!
Re: 27% 170B build
Arish, don't forget the tab on the rear door frame to protect the paint from an unknowing passenger closing the door without retracting the latch pin!

OHHH--NOOOOO!!!! Strut fairings were NEVER ORIGINAL!Aryana wrote:[...Also picked up some plastic vacuum formed strut fairings from a modeler in Arcadia, CA. They are close but the strut taper is about 3/8" too small. Should be an easy mod to make these work and/or modify them with fiberglass.......

Hey...!!! Have you thought about making that PROTOTYPICAL-SIZED ... (It would be a great replacement for the real-deals!)

Aryana, where do you get the Aryana action figure to sit in the left seat?

Re: 27% 170B build
You might be better off brazing/soldering a set of tiedown rings.
There might be something in RC Sailboats that's close.
Anyone do micro-lathe work or 3D metal printing?
What's the dimensions you're looking for?
