Great to see scratch building techniques being shared. A special thrill in seeing your own creation take to the air.

[@MarkRobinson555]

Thanks Mark, appreciate the comment, as you say great to see them in the air after all the work 😀

Thanks very much 😀

Beautiful!

To anyone considering building a model like this I say, go for it! But keep in mind, bolsa is a great insulator. The thick doublers in the nose help isolate vibration and noise.

Hi Richard, thanks for the comment it's appreciated 😀

[@ImadSerhan-dj1qo]

How to now the thickness of the balsa of the fuselage

[@MarkRobinson555]

The information you require is on the plans for the model. There is a link to the plans in the video description. Hope that helps 😀

Ohh ok thank ​@@MarkRobinson555

Curious Mark. Do you use a scroll saw or a scap0le knife to cut out the larger fuselage sides? Great video. Learning a lot from you as I gather materials to build an RCM Sportster from plans. Appreciated.

[@MarkRobinson555]

Hi there, thank you for the comment, it's appreciated. I will always use a scalpel, or a 42tpi razor saw for cross cuts. I only use a had fretsaw for cutting ply. Good luck with the RCM Sportster, I printed out the plans a couple of years ago as it looks a great model, I must het I built one day 😀

Hi Mark what density do you normally choose for the ribs, as ever great video thanks for sharing your time and effort with us 👌

[@MarkRobinson555]

Hi Mark, I usually go for something around the harder size of medium, don't like using anything to soft. Thanks very much for the kind comment, pleased you liked the video.

[@timw6513]

Many thanks Mark for sharing this video. I am new to this hobby. Can you tell me how you print out the plans. I have an A4 printer. Is it possible to print the plans on A4 sheets and join them together? Tim

[@MarkRobinson555]

Thank you for the comment, its appreciated, pleased you like the videos. If you go it the print menu on your computer there should be an option to print as a "Poster", which will alow you to print on A4, or what ever paper you have, and stick it together. Plans downloaded form siteds like Outerzone are usually 100% so you need to print with the Tile Scale at 100%. You can check if 100% by using the adobe reader measuring tool.

[@timw6513]

@@MarkRobinson555 Thanks for the info. I'll give it a go 😊

[@cedricwoodhall6405]

What do you print from? Its obviously not an A4 printer. Do you get them professionally printed and at what cost? Thanks.

[@MarkRobinson555]

Hi, I usually take the pdf file to the printers so I can get it done full size. The best, and cheapest, are usually those places used to doing building and landscape plans rather than posters and displays etc. I usually pay around £3.50 a sheet, depending on the size, which is a good price.

[@yashwardhanrathore8164]

Hi Mark, I'm Yash and I wanted guidance for 2 questions, 1) What are the dimensions of the Plan Sheet u use for reference and making of different Parts 2) What is the thickness of the Balsa Wood u use for the Fuselage and Wing, can u guide me on the dimensions including Length, Breadth and Thickness I'm thinking to built trainer MKII or trainer 60

[@MarkRobinson555]

Hi Yash, there is a link in the videos description that you can use to download the plans. Once you have the plans PDF all the information you need regarding size and maretials is on the plans. Hope that helps
