Since I'm in extreme mold making mode. I'm getting another set of molds in progress.
I have molds in progress for the Proud Bird EF1 belly pan, wing fillets, and cockpit pieces. They have the surface coat on them and some layers of fiberglass.
I filled the motor shaft opening in the cowl (nose ring) on Saturday night while setting up some guitar amps for my Queen "Brighton Rock" project.
The video taping work table had open space and was not gooey. I was able to start the prep on the cowl mold without making a mess.
Today it is getting sanded and primed. Hopefully I can get paint on it by dark. I will make the parting plate on Monday night. Prime the parting plate on Tuesday morning before work, paint it Tuesday night, and get PVA on by Thursday. Make the first half of the mold next weekend. Then finish it up week after next.
I should still have time to get my Proud Bird EF1 planes together for the May 4th and 5th race at Old Julian Airport ...
http://OJA.today .. That site does not currently have a flier on it for the Spring Race.
The front top of the PB EF1 cowl with the nose ring filled.
The bottom of the PB EF1 cowl with the nose ring filled.
Originally I got a Line 6 Spider V 30 watt amp. Loved it but wanted built-in wireless. So I took it back to Guitar Center and got the Line 6 Spider V 240HC that has stereo speakers with stereo tweeters in the head. That did me ok until I wanted more sound. So I got the Line 6 Spider V 412 320W 4x12 Guitar Speaker Cabinet. Love it. Then I got the Line 6 FBV 3 Advanced Guitar Footswitch. Love it too. Then at Thanksgiving, GC had the amps at reduced prices and I got the Line 6 Spider V 60 60W 1x10 Guitar Combo Amp. In the meantime, I had figured out how to do the Queen / Brian May "Brighton Rock" multiple delay on a single Spider V amp but without stereo separation. I got a Line 6 Spider V 30 30W 1x8 Guitar Combo Amp (deja voodoo all over again) so I would have it to demo for

The Line 6 Spider V amps are amazing once you learn what you can do with a computer or mobile device and the Spider Remote software. They may not be valve amps, but you would spend tons of money to do what I'm doing on a reasonable budget.
I had problems with a couple of guitar Y cables, so Saturday night I wired up a parallel rig with four 1/4" jacks. I have the parts to make a custom switch box, but the jacks did not have nuts on them. Had to order more jacks from Amazon for Tuesday delivery.
