Hi, Scott! Your roundels look great! I think at one point you mentioned something about your back... yeah, with a 5 ft chord, bending over so many times while putting down trim tape was a literal pain! But the final appearance is worth it! The "1-3-5" diameter for the three rings is proper according to many reference photos. Enjoy your break and I look forward to the next installment! John SE5a
Roundels are spot on! Your videos are an inspiration to all of us restoring/building aircraft for the first time. Please keep the videos coming! Enjoy your time away!
Painting & covering is a lot of work, Scott, but worth every minute of time spent.The paint & roundels look fantastic, a real credit to you & your workmanship...😊
The wing undersurfaces in the tent are looking very convincing,and the hue of the upper surfaces is good too. I would love to come to assist, but I’m 84 and walking with crutches, which rules me out.
G'day Scott, Yay Team ! Excellent work..., you're doing a beautiful job... Did you see that Dynodon64 took his Corsair up for nearly an Hour, landing fairly close to Sundown...? He took a GoPro on the Fin Leading Edge along for the Maiden Flight... Well worth watching...(!). Now, of course, he's deep into rectifying the things which going for a fly have revealed need some tuning and adjustment. Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !
Very nice. Been watching the videos for a bit. I bought a DR-1 kit from Robert and know the issues you speak of. But have to say, watching your videos have been very helpful. Been sitting on it for a few months and should be starting the rudder shortly. Trying to figure out the bending of the tubing.
I wish someone had a you tube for me to watch on these AA aircraft. Hope some of it helps. Message me on FB if you think I can help. Tube bending, screw everything, including the jig down, risk mucking up the first one, just be able to replicate it.
Love it! It turned out great, just as we have come to expect from you. The tape seemed to have decided to stick on after all. Was it the cold conditions that made it reluctant to stick earlier?
Amazing project. Love your craftsmanship. I never considered finishing an airplane with a roller. Your finish has a great vintage appearance. Any idea why the blue on your roundels didn't lay down like your other colors? My last project was finished in a polyurethane and it's too shiny for a vintage airplane.
Your exterior house paints are formulated to stay a bit flexible so they can take the expansion and contraction caused by exposure to variations in sunlight, so it will never be totally hard and scrubbable like interior paints. Then again, bird shit won't beat it. Some manufacturers claim ten years' worth of durability on wooden surfaces.
I thought that the unpainted linen was a cream colour, rather than white. Is white the correct colour? I wasn’t there at the time, so I have to go by guesswork.
My experience with epoxy glue (blessed be the epoxy) you don't need fastenings with the glue!! I'm building a boat out of Paulonia and glue. No fastenings thus far. Just wood and glue. Vast savings in weight and cost.
I spite of its small size, the red centre really stands out!
It’s correct in size in relation to the roundel
Pulling the masking off those roundels is just like a kid opening his Christmas presents!
You deserve the biggest, self satisfied, grin. It should last at least till your next video!
Very satisfying thanks
Thank you
Looking magnificent Scott, you’ll be one of those in his flying machine sooner than you know it . 👍
Enjoy the hols.
Thank you
Dam that's looking great, have a good rest!
Thank you
Livin the Dream !
In the shed, buildin a full scale, & ya neighbour Taxi's past, in his Pitts !

Awesome Job! It took me 5 years to build an Piper L-4 from scratch .... I feel you being worn out. Just keep plugging along. Keep the Dream.
Thank you
Outstanding attention to detail. Impressive.
Thank you

Once again Patience and preparation pays off the roundal look great.

G'day Scott,
Yay Team !
Excellent work..., you're doing a beautiful job...

He took a GoPro on the Fin Leading Edge along for the

Well worth watching...(!).
Now, of course, he's deep into rectifying the things which going for a fly have revealed need some tuning and adjustment.

Yes, how fantastic is the little Corsair. Fabulous job.

Yes possibly, it worked out great.

Blue is the newest finish, it takes a good day or two but the moisture evaporates out and it has pulled down nicely thanks.

Then again, bird shit won't beat it. Some manufacturers claim ten years' worth of durability on wooden surfaces.
It will be interesting to see how it goes, although Im not the first to use it.
@@scottmatthews5280 No worries. It also sticks like the proverbial to a blanket. The paint could outlast the fabric.
The lines activating the ailerons have cranks to raise the aileron, but no way to lower it. Is there another crank to be fitted to each aileron?
Pushrod is fitted from top to bottom aileron forming a closed loop system.
I thought that the unpainted linen was a cream colour, rather than white. Is white the correct colour? I wasn’t there at the time, so I have to go by guesswork.
I say white but it is a butter color, Linen its called but white is easier to say.
Look at how a NASCar fuel cell is mounted may give you so ideas?
Thank you
I think that the holes in the headboard would have been lined with leather originally.
Yes I actually did this today thank you.
hello scott. great work as always. when u get to installing the rotec do u have to make an engine mount or do they make them to suit.
Hi, I had one custom made by Rotec. Very nice job. I paid $560 USD for 3 bits of square stock welded together from Airdtome airplanes….disgraceful.
@@scottmatthews5280 rotec do nice work.
Qual o tipo da tinta você ta usando?
Dulux ‘Ecology Green’ (see 19:57) 👍
@@spency787 obrigado
Please make sure you're replacing the aluminium 'firewall' that comes with the kit with stainless steel!
Okay thank you

Thanks for the info, the nails are more for looks.
It would be funny to install paint ball guns inside the fake machine guns 😂
Hmm, good idea
Dreadful tank welding.
Yes it is.
