Glad I found this. I have built just about every Microaces WWI kit including this one. Your build is clean! I like your sequence of attaching the flying surfaces and use of elastic thread, great idea!

Fascinating! I've been interested in WW1 aviation since the 50th Anniversary of the war in the 1960s and this is the first I've heard about that particular marking. (In all honesty I've never really paid attention to it! ) Great work on the model, and thanks for posting!

Anyone who knows a bit about airframes knows that the inverted T indicates trestle points on the bottom.of the fuselage for supporting the aircraft when you need to work on the undercarriage or otherwise work on the aircraft with the weight off the undercarriage.
@EleanorPeterson Ай бұрын
Wait a mo... Support points, yes. But aren't they usually low down on the airframe (where they're needed) and not right up on top of it, hidden from below by the curve of the fuselage? And why would they be hand-painted on the fin/rudder, where they're also obscured from below by the tailplane? And why would they have doping and finishing data on them? With respect, I think we're discussing two different things, here.🤔

Thank you! Yes it has flown, but only a few brief circles. It has some trimming issues which I haven’t completely resolved, but I get the impression that it will be a good flier. Best of luck with your build and thanks again!

I've used krylon acrylic for decades. Milky white problem will disappear when it dries. In the future, use a lighter coat or multiple light coats. There are two completely different formulations with virtually identical bottles. You want the one that says "recoat any time" in the fine print. The other says something like "recoat after one hour'. Weight penalty is virtually non-existent for both.
@dxmodelworks 2 ай бұрын
Many thanks for that. I used matte Krylon back then based on a recommendation and was not expecting the matte finish to be so pronounced. I ended up using a dry paint brush to remove the clouding effect and switched to “flat crystal clear,” which has worked great.

I built cardstock models for years and thought the printing and construction techniques were perfect for flying scale models, but I didn't have the capability to do anything about it. These Micro Aces planes are exactly what I was thinking of. Thanks for taking the time to put together the video. It's a lovely little plane!

I finished mine (had to have a friend use a few of his programs to get the Monocoupe script as I couldn't achieve it in Corel). Spent some time this last Saturday trying to get it to fly with 1 loop of 3/16". No joy. I think the problem is that with the short nose I have a stability issues as it acts much like a dutch roll situation. I"ll try again soon but it looks like it going to be a hanger queen as I'm not really interested in damaging it after so much work. So, if I can find a good field of tall grass.....
@dxmodelworks 3 ай бұрын
Sadly, I’ve heard other cases of trimming issues with models of this type as well. A field with tall grass is definitely helpful if you have access to one, but as you pointed out, it’s a matter of how much you’re willing to risk your work. The issues I’ve heard about have put me off trying to fly mine, which isn’t too disappointing since I’m content with just having the model around to look at. Hoping you meet with more success in your next attempt!

Wanted to thank you for your in depth build. Several things stood out, such as placement of the windscreen (support struts), and your details for the lettering. I used Corel Paint to copy them and then used the magic wand to get rid of the background followed by importing it into draftsight for the layout of the fuse. Easier for me to create the gold trim in that program so that any damage to the tissue and I can reprint it. I agree on gluing the wings together. As far as powering by rubber, I recommend moving the rear area for the peg to be moved forward so that it is between the LE of the stab and the TE of the wing. This will give it a better balance point.

@dxmodelworks 5 ай бұрын
Thank you! This one was similar. I only managed a few short flights with it. I think the all flying surfaces make it a little squirrely. I also eliminated most dihedral hoping the washout would compensate, so that was likely a factor as well.

Very nice build of an early Monocoupe, I reckon it would fly very well, but I was surprised that you only built it as a 3 channel model instead of a 4 channel plane, as it would be nice to have aileron control as well. My Uncle Fred flew, after he retired as an aerobatic pilot, a Monocoupe 110 Special he named “The Spirit of Dynamite” which is now in an aircraft museum, which was similar to the plane he flew for years as an aerobatic pilot with was a Monocoupe 110 with a Pratt and Whitney Wasp engine. Someday, I would like to build an RC version of his plane. Thanks for sharing your build experience with us all! Happy Flying! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨✈️
@dxmodelworks 5 ай бұрын
Thank you very much for the kind words and well wishes, they are greatly appreciated. All the best to you as well. I seriously considered giving this model aileron control but in the end it came down to the embarrassing fact that I have no experience flying four-channel RC. I've previously looked into RC simulators to change this. I've seen the "Spirit of Dynamite" and it is a seriously beautiful bird. Whenever I see it I wonder if its livery was Gee Bee-inspired. It's very striking. If you ever want to build a model of the 110 Special I would highly recommend Walt Mooney's plan. It is a spectacular flyer with rubber power, but I'm not sure how it would do as an RC model.
@mikecarbone828 5 ай бұрын
@@dxmodelworks I am sure that the 110 plans would result in a very good flying RC model, and would be very acrobatic too if it were built well. Keep building, and I recommend that you try out a good flight simulator which enables you to use your own transmitter, these actually enable you to become fully familiar with your transmitter and help you to feel more comfortable when you are actually flying your RC model. Happy Flying! Please have an excellent and awesome day! ☀️✨✈️

Hello! I bought some black tissue, but before I proceed -- how did you cut the N numbers out?
@dxmodelworks 8 ай бұрын
I scanned the N Number and printed it on a piece of paper. I then folded a sheet of black tissue in half and put the printed N number on top. A new razor blade and a metal ruler were used to carefully cut the N number from the printed sheet and the two layers of black tissue underneath. With this both N numbers were cut out at once.
@michaelmontefusco896 8 ай бұрын
@@dxmodelworks Good info! I cut the numbers out of the thick sticker paper they are printed on. Then I discarded the letter/number once cut out and used the the negative as a pattern. Then I went to town with a metal ruler and cut each out. I used black tissue from my local Hobby lobby -- it didn't really need two layers luckily (but a second would have been preferred) that would have drove me crazy! But it came out excellent -- just time consuming as you know lol but thank you for responding!
