Semplice Fasciatoio in Legno

L’idea iniziale era una semplice scatola aperta sul lato superiore, certamente qualcosa alla portata anche di principianti. Costruendo il fasciatoio I due lati lunghi

A1-C End of Construction

For the first time in over 20 years, the plane is complete in all its parts! Even if during the last days there were lots of minor improvements and re-engeneering of a few areas, I managed to wrap it up. The main concern was to get the CG right, or as close as possible, without having to add ballast to center the model. In the design phase, I moved a lot of weight to the

A1-C Engine cowl

The engine, or in this case, motor cowl, has been first modeled from a solid block using sandpaper… glasses and a mask. Once happy with the shape, I started laminating the epoxy and fiberglass mats in various weights. For the epoxy I once again looked in the prochima line of products and ordered the E-227 resin. After the first sanding of the fiberglass (again, wear masks, glasses and gloves!) i covered the whole cowl with

A1-C The Project

The A1-C project was started in the last century. In the beginning I designed the airframe with my father for a small class .25 glow engine. Little we knew about aeronautical structure design, or even just model design. That’s why for the first prototype we took inspiration  from the early 3D Fun Flyers, which started to appear on the market in the late nineties. While not so bad in the general design, it was way

This is a two-part story, because we actually took care of two sets of lamps, both found in the family storage few months ago. a dusty start… These dusty and oxidized brass wall appliques had a gloriuos past in the tavern of my grandparents house. For several years they witnessed every big family reunion, until they were no longer needed, the house eventually sold, and they

Renovating an old bike

  It actually happens quite often in our family, to start a “simple little project”, and end up with a major overhaul. This old bike was lying all dusty and rusty at my parent’s house, and it seemed a nice and quick temporary way to provide us with some two-wheeled freedom in our new house. Of course, that idea was going to change very soon,
