New Model Build
bsadonkill Sat Sep 07, 2024 5:36 am
Over some of the 100-degree days I started building a Cleveland Viking. I have had the plan for a few years now and I have an engine to go with it. I also picked up a tick off type of ignition cut off and dethermalizer. I thought of this as a winter project, but it seems to be moving along fairly quickly.

Nicely formed. I love to view uncovered stick built airplanes. Is that a O&R Sparker? .29 maybe.

Nice Cleveland Viking cabin build, @bsadonkill , love all that balsa lumber, looks very lightweight. Inverted engine, haven't seen that in a while, seems common in the 1950's.

Thanks guys, it's an O an R .23. I think I will use a medium silk span on the wing and tail unit. I might use ploy span on the fuselage.

Ordered silk span form SIG manufacturing, got it in three days.
SIG manufacturing is starting to open up and getting things back in order. So, I did get some covering done.

Nice job on the silk covering….I bet there’s a little trick to the under camber ribs….. Nice to see these classics still being done …

Well, I had to do some cutting on the cowl to make room for the timing arm. The timing unit is new so the engine runs without missing. I worked out the pop-up tail. Motor stick is removable and uses three nickel metal hydride batteries in series. I have it set up for standard point ignition. But will probable go with a transistorized ignition. This changes the points form a high current switch to a low current 50 ma switch.

An interesting vertical stab arraingment. Have you bench tested the O&R with the new ignition?
