  • This weeks video is a simple restoration of a small twin engine 1930s Wyandotte Airacuda Military airplane. I chose this one this week due to a large project I am working on for the next upload, I needed something relatively easy for this one. I purchased this one with a lot of other airplanes that were all in similar condition. I didn't realize until after I powder coated this one that it is actually missing the rear tail fins. I will end up stripping this plane and correcting it later once I know the correct shape and size of tail fins. Overall I enjoyed this small restoration and am super excited for the restoration coming in two weeks. Thanks for watching!

    You need to add a small rubber wheel to the two downturned pieces at the end of the tail. Mine still has it. And the vertical stabilizers are missing. They must have broken off easily because mine are missing too.

    Nice plane! But I have a question. Why do you always flatten the propellers? They seem to have a correct shape, blades are set at an angle to the airflow, so they could rotate when you blow on them , or "fly" the plane around :)

    • @Jerepasaurus
      @Jerepasaurus 2 роки тому +1

      Not all of them seemed to be made with angled props. This one looked the first of his collection that had any angle, but not consistently. They were likely just bent around over the years, maybe even by the owner trying to angle them appropriately as the real things should be.

    Me encantan las restauraciones que haces, pero te doy un consejo, si me lo permites: las hélices de los aviones no van planas, cada aspa lleva una ligera inclinación, para poder impulsar; tal vez no tanto como estaban antes de restaurar la pieza, pero en las próximas restauraciones intenta mantener esa forma 😉👍👍
