Sanding the leading edge is the Bain of my life.i am always worried I alter the shape of the rib
It is very nice to get to see someones sanding technique first hand. Its much better than only being shown with words that visual aid is everything!!!! So I wanted to say thank you.
I wander if you got this as a kit feom some plaxe or if you just bought plans (blueprints) and made up your own kit🤨 I cannot find kits at a reasonable price anywhere.
Great plane my dear sir.I bet she turns out wonderful.
it's a pure beauty ! 💙
Looking great. Terry&ThePirates South Florida
Good job.
Wish I had seen this video a bunch of years ago! I do exactly as you do after lots of false starts and screwed up leading edges over the years. Key is never to remove the center line guide during the shaping. I apply duct tape to the ribs near the leading edge during final sanding to ensure the rib shape is not changed.
Beautifully made wing
That plane is unbelievable. This may be the most beautiful model I have seen , wow even down the the prop has style.
Beautiful job
I'm going to give it a try, thanks.😃
That is pure passion! Greetings from Brazil!
WOW CHUCK!!! That is beautiful.
AWESOME TUTORIAL! THANK YOU!!
She flies and looks gorgeous ,you can be proud of your efforts
Very good craft teacher...
Would love to see some flight videos of your latest version
Thanks for sharing your beautiful creations.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hi Chuck I just wanted to you have done a really amazing job on the build and finish of your Riley Model B. I can only aspire to be able to build planes as good as what you have .People like you with your wealth of knowledge are few and far between.
Hey Chuck My name is Brian. I found one of your models on Craigslist here in Pittsburgh. It's missing the engine cowl and wheel pants. Where could I find those and or instructions on building them. I hope you find this message. Thank you Brian
These 3 videos have really helped me. Thank you!
Fred Jaimeson, founder of Master Airscrew designed and made those planes. He was one great guy....You can buy these planes from Master Airscrew at masterairscrew.com, under Building Tools....Best of building..
This razor plane is not as good as expected for the price. Bottom was not completly flat, is wrinkle .The material is plastic.
Great job. Please let us know where to get one of these planes. I tried Google and saw nothing like it.
4:12 Quality Control expert showed up :-)
Save time and hack off all that excess with a little Zona saw first before planing. Then finish with the plane - lots faster!
Be a lot faster to use a Zona saw to remove most of that excess before you go to the razor plane for final shaping.
Any flight reports on this yet?
The model builders friend-The razor plane. Enjoyed the tutorial.
some late info. at 1:52, Obviously, the "thickness' of the LE component Must Reduce, towards the wingtip; otherwise the profile becomes wonkified. googletranslate
Are the wings basically the same airfoil at the root just longer? I'm curious if they would essentially be interchangeable. Between short and long.
David, The wings on the Series 11 and the Series 13 are very similar, but not interchangeable. The major difference is the increase from 108 to 118 inches in wing span. This also decreases wing loading slightly. The Series 11 flies very well. The "current" model Series 13 has not been flown yet. But we should have a pretty good idea whether there is an improvement after Joe Nall in May. Thanks! Chuck
very nice looking work
Great tutorial, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful airplane for sure...
Great tutorial...what is the name of that plane and where can I get one?
Master airscrew
Is there a kit or plans of this plane available, would like to build one.
Nice design....
Fantastic project, Mr. Gratner. I sell plywood in Brazil and looking at the plywood in this aircraft, it is just amazing. May I know what kind of plywood is that used for the caves of this plane? One more time, my congratulations for this perfect project.
Renato: I use 3mm Lite Ply for most of the formers, and 6mm Lite Ply for the cowl ring and F1. I believe it is manufactured in Italy. I purchase most of my plywood from Aircraft Spruce.
Thanks for your reply, Mr. Gratner. I visited the aircraft Spruce site....but I want to be a distributor for some plywood like that here in Brazil....and their prices are for final costumer . But anyway, thank you so much and please.....always post your building videos, the best and well explaned I watched. It will be a pleasure to see more of your work. Have a perfect weekend and thanks again.
@@chuckgratner8859 .. I only found 4x8 sheets of 3mm & 6mm lite ply on that web site. Is that what you bought 4x8 ?
Is it best just to do it in sections until you get everything down to a certain thickness, then sand it the final way? Its pretty satisfying watching you do that. My first balsa plane was a Cessna and it was much smaller. I thought it came out pretty good for a 17 year old that didnt know much about building an RC plane.I build plank on plank Wooden ship models as well as other projects. I took advanced wood working in highschool but found out I liked working on the lathe. My project earned me third place in my department but first in design. I wish now I had build something more delicate but back then, it was cabinets and clocks. I made wooden bowls. There was no one else in my field or department, so easy first place. I still like working with wood, but my hands are starting to fail me.
RC: I am more comfortable shaping the leading edge "all over" rather than one section at a time. But that's just the way I like to do it. If shaping one section at a time is easier, then by all means, do it that way. Either way, you should get to the same place. Thanks! Chuck
Hello Grand Master, Really, good Work. Congratulations
How did you mark a perfect leading edge datum as drawn in your video?
Nick, the leading edge, before it is shaped, is 1/2" x 2" balsa. The datum line, which is also the chord line in this model, is on-center. Does that make sense? You will find the complete build at www.gratnerbrothers.com Thanks! Chuck
could you make a video regarding building rc plane fixtures
wonderful work and choice , thanks
I usually put some masking tape on each rib before sanding. :) Thanks for sharing
Agree. No matter how careful you are, it's very easy to inadvertently sand a flat on the ribs behind the LE. Even a few stray strokes can mishape the ribs and distort the aerofoil section.
basla or polywood so you. thank !
thanks for your detailed instructions and explainations!
impressive work so far.
Hi Chuck, Very nice video and good looking model. Thanks for sharing. Kind regards from the Netherlands, Bas.
