I mix mine the same way as "lecckyflier" except I mix it on wax paper.

That's excellent!

Sorry to hear about that Kevin, hopefully the two weeks go by fast for you.

I use Testors White or Clear decal paper or if the job is for single colour lettering 1/4" or larger I use my Cricut machine to cut it out of their "permanent vinyl"

I'm also following your build. I've been thinking of a biplane build for a while now.

We have had minus zero temps and snow for the last three weeks. Now this week we are in the mid teens, the snow has disappeared and it's going up to 18°C today. The problem is our Canadian province, Manitoba, went to Code Red or high Covid alert on Monday and that has closed our flying field.

In the magazine article Peter says he flew it with a .32, but figured a .40 would be better.

According to the magazine article (Jan 2008) it is 4 pounds 5 ounces.

I typed "3mm circlip" into the Farnell search box and then scrolled down the result page to where it lists 4 different pliers for that circlip.

We have 2 model shops in town, one allows 6 customers at a time and the other takes phone or internet orders and has curbside service. I have been using both shops to pick up my supplies.

I have been making my own latches. A piece of bent wire and a spring rescued from a dried up ball point pen works.

I soldered on the washer, but a locking collar will work.

There was an article in RCM&E

HO train scale seemed to work for me.

I roughly based mine on the Dornier Wal.

Eze -Kote is made for glassing

I've used muriatic acid, but only on galvanized sheet metal.like my downspouts.

I use my Proxxon for stripping spruce and fir, but I use my V-Mar stripper for balsa.

There is also Peters' build article Werewolf

I plan to build your Werewolf Peter, it looks like a warbird fly boy 3.

Same here in the centre of Canada, just email and phone orders.

With all this spare shop time I decided to make a balsa and ply dummy motor for my Cub.
