Techniques for Building a Fairly Sophisticated Stunt Ship
« on: October 18, 2007, 09:51:19 AM »
Presently, I'm posting a series of building tutorials on Stuka Stunt.  These explain, in great detail, nearly all of the techniques needed to build a competition stunt ship with dihedral, fully sheeted wing, and shock gear.  The series has run to 5 postings so far and includes more than a hundred and twenty five explained photographs.

Why not here?  I dono.  I've posted photos on stuka Stunt ever since they fixed the site to accept photos years ago, long before Stunt Hangar appeared as a web site.  I'm comfortable with that process for posting large photos inserted into the text.  I've never figured out how to do that here.  In any case, it is a lot of work, too much to duplicate.  Each post with five photos takes me about four hours to write, to say nothing of the time spent photographing and videoing the build.  I enjoy the work.  It seems like a worthy project.  I hope this explanation for why I'm not posting here is accepted as having nothing to do with any opinion of the relative value of these two websites.  I post here when I see something I feel qualified to comment on.

the series begins with:

Design of the Mustunt IV
Design and Construction of the Mustunt IV part 2
Mustunt IV, part 3, Basic Building Techniques
Mustunt IV, part 4, Basic building Techniques
Mustunt IV, part 5, Basic Building Techniques

There is more to come as I get around to it.  give it a try, you might like it.

Hi Al,  I have been following the posts as much as possible.  If I could only figure out how to down load them to disc.  It takes a lot of paper and ink to down load to a printer.  Let alone the time.  As soon as the P-39 is done, I am going to start on the "Mustunt II".  Thanks,  DOC Holliday

Doc,

Expand the whole thread, click on the File menu in IE, click on Save As, make sure the drop down box says Web page, Complete (*.htm *.html), select a location and click Save..

It will save the whole web page to your hard drive complete with photos. To view it you can simply double click on the HTM file or create a shortcut to it...

Hi Bob,

When I go to "Save As" I get a menu that has "E" Drive (CD)  I select it and keep adding he files until I am done then burn the CD.  I am luck that I do have  CD burning capability.
