When I sand balsa, indoors I use a dust collector and face mask. Outdoors I don’t worry about the dust,balsa can be a real respiratory irritant.

Hey Frank, I for real am getting ready to start a 70-in p47 razorback from zeroli. If I had any questions, would it be okay to send you like a picture and maybe a description of what my question is? Would you be willing to maybe answer a question or two if I asked you or is that getting too personal?

Frank, if it ain't perfect it ain't real far off from it. I'll tell you that much. It looks great! I would be very proud of that build. I think it looks fantastic

I hope you got your push rods done. You're filling in that turtle deck where you can't get in there now so if you don't have those push drops done you're going to have a hell of a time with them and you just tired a big crease right down the center turtle deck you'll see it in a minute....

You know Frank, there are not a whole lot of videos out there that shows the plane being built from start to finish. There just isn't. There's a couple but not many men. So good for you man for making one. I appreciate it. Thank you!

Boy it just makes all the difference when you take the time to fill in all the dents real carefully and sand it all back flat and make sure everything's all nice before you ever start to cover it just really pays off don't it? It sure shows in your build and it sure is pretty... Im getting ready to start a 70in. zirrolli P-47 rb.... I intend to use some of the techniques I learned from watching you Frank, so thank you buddy

My only question about the wings is how are you going to get to those servos if you ever have a problem with them? You didn't make the servo covers removable you glued them in instead of screwing them down. Unless you have some way to get to them from the other side I don't think you could be able to get to them

Those are awesome servos you're using for the wing. They're fast. They're strong, they're light, and they're small and they dissipate heat well

Is that turtle deck just cardboard? That's what it looks like to me. I can't tell for sure but it looks like it's all cardboard to me, huh? No, it's just the veneer a real thin piece of ply and it looked like cardboard from a distance. At least that's what I think it is. Wouldn't know for sure unless I was in the room with it but that's what it looks like

sure missin franks build videos, hope all is well

hey Frank! where did you get the aluminum spinner? looks awesome

I have an Ultimate 10-300 (Black Box) that I was thinking of selling. After watching your series (most of it) I am not selling it anymore. :) I have noticed your affinity for Carl Goldberg models. Is there any particular reason for this?

Hello Frank! awesome build, I love the ultimate. How can I get my hands on those foam wings kit from Bob Hunt? is there a website/email I can contact? Thank you

😭 awwe man, so sorry to see that happen. Even after seeing the title though, I watched anyway. Terrific build. Splendid covering.

Very nice! Back in the 90’s we used to put flying wires on the tail because it would crack if you got to Violent with the maneuvers.

Frank, where are you finding these models? From what I can tell, Carl Goldberg went out of business a while back. There are a couple of Tiger 60s on eBay for $500+, but I don't see anyone selling new production kits.

Frank, Do we have a video of a flight? Been looking forward to it!

thumbs up!

Frank, that P4 0 flies like she's floating on a cloud. You built her light and it shows she flies really, really docile. I doubt you'll be dropping too many wings with this one....way to go my brother!!!!!💯💯🔥🔥🔥🤙🤙🤙

This model still available? Cheers mate

This popped up in my feed and made me excited that Frank is back then I notice it was posted over a year ago. 😢

I hsve a Topflight GS P 51 built up wing i bought from someone. How do i measure the washout in the wing tips ? I've read 2 degrees is needed in large warbirds.

What I know about to this model it's Capable of doing inverted flat spins.. Veary well.. outstanding building skills..

Meu amigo me deu um kit desse só que asa precisa se refeita é eu preciso de uma plata para fazer se vc puder me ajudar vou ficar muito feliz.

Olá Frank's tudo bem muito legal seus vídeos como eu consigo uma planta do Sukhoi 26

Hobbyist enjoy..building as much as flying..remember the glue was ambroid glue ...back in the days of building from scratch..unlike today's owner operator arfs....

Hello Frank. Where can I get such a wonderful ruler and what kind of pen is it? Nice to see how precisely you build

beautiful that lifted off like a cub

Hi Frank, I hope all is well!

Very nice. I built 2 of them about 30 years ago. Currently working on a Ohio ultimate 27% kit. It's been slow going.

Where you been Frank? episode 5?

Have 4 models with monokote covering; all else are with cover all Butrate dope & thiner... Similar to sekenight what full scale uses with rib stitchen this process used on 1/4 scale

Very nice job do you have to add any primer over Polyspan befor painting ??

Do you know where I can download the "General Information Booklet?" I bought my kit opened, and I don't have that manual.

Hi Frank, I'm a little late to the party here, but know that there are still people like me watching these videos of yours even 2 years later! got one of these Top Flite P40 kits myself recently, getting harder to find, but got lucky. You have amazing attention to detail, love watching these videos! I had a question about what sort of surface you have under your plans that you are putting your pins into, is it just a big table sized piece of MDF with one finished white side that you are using? That's my best guess from what I can see in the video. Been planning out how to have a nice setup on the bench to make building easier.

Thanks for this build series . I just picked this model up it had been hanging in a garage for several years. It's a complete restoration

What's the price today

What should value be when complete

Maiden ?

Frank, many thanks for the inspiration for me to start the build of my P-40 reproduction Top Flite kit. Hope I can make as good a job as yourself.

Hi Frank , I built this kit probably 20+yrs ago . P40 is looking good .

Nice shiny glossy finish..is the modetn Way!!!!! That all in good for pratical purposes.... But i will go the extra mile in finishing mine thay way i choose is how its done on full scale aircraft.

Nice show there governor... Now. Modern times building ? Ill stick with cover all simular to sinkanight buturate thiner & dope for covering..because iam an old fashion type of guy & want to preserve my models for many years...!!!

Another Great flying bipe ... Was the phaton 90. ..one of my father's favorite plane did rolling circles both verticle & horizontal...!!!!!

One of many Goldbergs model kits.. My first was senior falcon..note thoe Tinny area for gas tank semi symmetrical wing..not Clark y as a kadet had. Extra 300 put super tiger 3000 on it awesome power...

What size screws did you use for the manual choke assembly?

Oops here's the link to the ultimate biplane conversion. ua-cam.com/video/cDAadc43nvU/v-deo.html

Good content and presentation, but. Sorry Frank, gave up 26 mins in. The music did my head in.

Thanks for the tip about lines, it encouraged me to draw just 1 line😅

Sweet video, is the leading edge piece turned up the 5/16 height ?
