Building the zero
Tuesday, March 31, 2009/ 10:34 PM
I've got a new project, its the GWS zero fighter! I got it because 10 other GFK members had got it too, so we bought it all together. Some had already finished building, some had already 80& done, im still half done. LoL!
Start of the building... I started cutting the alierons, rudder and elevator flaps, i used a new blade and a long ruler to cut the lines, impress with myself as i had did a nice cutting, not like my previous estarter cutting. Next, i used 5mins epoxy to glue up the 2 pieces rudder into one piece.
I went down to rotor to buy paints and some accessories for mine and matthew zero fighter. Next step was gluing the fuselage together with 15mins epoxy. I used masking tape to hold the fuses together, so it will not move and is glued tight together. Meanwhile waiting for the epoxy to bind, i started fixing up my alierons. I bought hinges from HC, its cheap so i got it. So far, i find it good, better than the one GWS provide. Hinged the alierons and the control rods, i used clone bobsmith foam safe CA from HC to glue the hinges and the control rods.
What i did today was doing up the horizontal and vertical stabs. Firstly i slot in the tail wheel gear into position, it took me quite a while to bend the wire, but finally had the way i wanted. Secondly, i glued the horizontal stab into place, before i glued it on, i aline it with ruler to see whether both sides is in line. Then i glued the stab with CA and accelerator, it holds well. Thirdly, i hinged up the elevator flaps into place, using 2 hinges for each flap. After which, i hinged up the rudder flap and linked it to the tail wheel, not very well done, rudder is not very straight but its the best i had done. Still looks good though. Up next is gluing on the wing spar, i changed the provided one with a longer and stronger one. I cut out the slot for the longer rods and glued it in place with CA and accelerator, hold perfectly well. My wing is damn strong, compare to my old one, it shld be a able to take up high G pull. Happy with it! Also i glued up the landing gear 'holder' with 5mins epoxy, fast and quick job. The left over epoxy i used on the wing spar, not to waste any of it. Lastly, i went ahead to do the cowling. I cut out the shape via the outline. I then tape the whole cowling with masking tape with many layers, because i wanna paint my cowling in a checkers scheme. It took me about a hour to cut out the shape. Finally i spray orange paint on it, and hopefully it comes out nice. If its not, its ok, it still looks better than total black. Will post pics of the result of the cowling soon.
What i did besides building my zero? Basically its rather a short day, i woke up at 12pm in the noon. Played suddenattack for awhile and got prepared to leave for my driving lesson at 3.20pm. Went there myself as my dad not free, he and my bro watching my sis playing badminton match. So i took 72 straight to YCK and walked to SSDC, took my lunch there and head to my car. This time my car number was 101, my instructor was good. And guess wad, i drove my fastest speed today, at 64Km/h. Damn happy with today's lesson, i drove alot on roads at average speed of 40-60Km/h. After a 2hours of driving, my dad came fetch me and we head back home. Thats alll, boleh bla! LoL!
Today's weather doesnt look good. Didnt went to fly because my dad didnt wake me up. Went to saloon and had a haircut, everyone except my mom cut hair. My hair was cut till damn short mannx, sian! Hope it will grow longer before orientation. LoL! When we got it, it started to rain and was a heavy one. I told steven, one of my flying buddy that over at my place was raining heavily, but at his place was not. Soon his place started raining heavily. I wanted to join them flying at tampines ave2, but it was still raining. At about 6pm, steven msg me and told me that his turbine f-18 hornet is on for taxing, i told my dad and we went off straight to see it. Theres already 5-8 of them watching steven taxing his f-18, only know one of them, who is rajoo. Took some photos too. After steven last taxing, we head home and fetch my mom and sis for dinner with my grandparents at their place there. And now im home blogging this. :)
Today had my 3rd driving lesson and was a great weather for driving, its super sunny and hot. Unlike the past 2 days, it was raining. So far i had done up to 8 subjects out of 30. I still need roughly 15-20 more lessons to finish my 30 subjects before i am able to book my driving test. Before booking, i have to pass my final theory test which i had already passed during my trial test, but thats only a trial. Today, my instructor and car was changed, no longer the pervious one. Car i was using this round was a new honda city, car number 136. It was a nice car, i couldnt resist to take down some photos. My new instructor was really kind, he taught me quite alot of things today. The car i was driving was different from what i drove the past 2 days, the acceleration and braking pedal were very sensitive and smooth. Its quite a nice car to drive, but the power is like lesser. Seat was much more comfortable than the previous one, stearing wheel much more nice and smooth. I hope can drive the same model again next monday. Alright its late, blog another day. Bye..
WOOOhOOOO!! Just came back from SSDC AMK. Had a fulfilling 2hours of driving with my instructor. When i reached there, theres alot of ppl. I just follow the crowd, when they leave to the cars, i leave too. My car number for this lesson was 92. Went inside the passenger sit and wait for my instructor to come. He came and start the engine and explain every single detail to me. He also drove me around the circuit to familiarilies with it. Its my turn to sit in the driver seat, my instructor asked me to adjust wadever is necessary. Few minutes later, i start my first move off into the circuit. My first acceleration was a very sudden one, to me its damn powerful. The brake and acceleration pedal are both different in sensitivness, thats y sometimes i had a sudden rush, bur it was just great feeling to drive. Slowly i got the hang of the pedals and turnings. Then after many rounds of circuit driving, i went for cornings, turning left, turning right at junctions and putting on signals to warn others. Fun Fun!! Im not boosting or wad, but my instructor said im potential and he have confidences in me. Was happy with wad he said. However tats not all, i still need to attend at least 25 lessons before im able to book my driving test. This will cost almost another 1.5k to 2k. Gosh!! I suppose to learn only lesson 1-3, but instead i learnt 1-4, advance by one lesson. Very happy with my first attempt in driving. Tmr will be my 2nd lesson, and will be learnt brakings and so on. Will perform my best tmr, and hope to learn more things.
WOW im nervous today! Guess what!?! Im going for my very first driving practical lesson today. I am in ssdcl AMK, i chose there becoz its the nearest to me. I really cant wait to drive but is nervous about it. Guess im too excited.. Hmmm, i hope my instructor is not strict. I heard from my frens, AMK sch's instructor are very strict compare to other sch. What i heard too was tat there are more crash rate from other sch den AMK. so maybe its alittle better to be strict, but it may be alittle hard to get the license ASAP. But nevertheless, i will still drive my best to get the license ASAP.
Went flying with jackson at the field behind our house this morning. Weather was hot, sweating like crazy even though i was jus standing on the spot. Today's flying was rather suck, doesn't fly the way i wanted. I felt my trimmings are all gone, and my flying is like getting worst. Need to practice alot more, as competition is coming in june. Although im participating for jus pure experiences and fun, i would like to aim for at least a 2nd last place. Practice mannx!
Last saturday was fun. Went science center for an aeromodelling event. Get to see many weird planes flying and crashing. There are afew model which are amaze by me, like a toilet bowl plane, a foamy which looks something like a kite, both of them just flies extremely well. But during the demo of the toilet bowl plane, it crashed into the net and hang up high onto the net. Only when the event is over, some guys manage to bring it down. Our event was suppose to be 30 seconds to 1 minute long of flying, but instead of tat, we only flew like for 20 seconds. Nevertheless, we still successfully finished the event without casualties. hahaha... Majority of them felt they had not enough flying indoor, so they went ahead and flew inside the net, with all the hardcore maneuvers. Then we went for a early dinner at west coast market, and we head back to gfk. Got my salary for my events which i've done, got money to spend again. LoL!
What is interesting to me tat day when i was at gfk was the real flight G4 simulator. Michael bought 5 sets of it for airdancer training purpose. They set it up for me to play with it, it was awesome and just simply great. I practice my hovering skill all the time when i was playing, now i felt i can hover alot better. I practice torque roll too, been practicing tat maneuver for several hours and finally got it. Now its time to perfect it, will train more when i go to gfk. At about 1am, we went to bishan for prawning, i think about 10 of us went prawning. It was kinda ex, 30bucks for 3hours per rod, so i suggest to share with weijing. Michael was nice, he paid for all of us, thanks! This was my 3rd or 4th time prawning, and this time was the best, as i had got many prawns. One of them i got was huge, i think the biggest among everyone's. After a tiring 3hours of prawning, we counted the prawn we all got, total was 129 prawns by 10 ppl. Michael and the rest went to start up the BBQ pit and weijing,junzheng,jackson and me slack aside, and it was like 6am in the morning already. I ate only one prawn, as i dun like the taste of it, although its super fresh. After everything, me, jackson and weijing took bus 88 home, the bus is jus outside the prawning ground. We fell asleep in the bus, but luckily jackson woke up and called me when the bus reached our stop. if not we gonna over shot. Went back home, str8 away bathe and went to bed. ZzzzZzzzz....
Today was a tired day.. Woke up ard 12+ in the noon as i slept late the night before. Slack a few hours at home before going out to GFK for a rehearsal at singapore science center, prepare for tmr actual event. Right after the rehearsal, i went down to grassroot and have my regular badminton game with my dad, sis, bro and my dad's frens. Played many games continuously for 2 hours, sweat freaking much. And now im blogging, hmm not much to blog, short day not much stuffs happened.
Today, i went to IT show with my Dad and Bro. Reached there about 11.30, and all suntec parking lot were full. So the sign direct the drivers to some building for parking lots. My dad then made an U-turn to Millennium Walk carpark, lots of parking lots. And its not far from suntec, theres event a link path to the towers. Before we went to the show and spend lots of money, we head to KennyRoger for lunch. Today is unusual, we ate very little yet very full, food there was not bad. And then went to the IT show. Lots of ppl were already there, the promoters had also started giving away flyers and promoting their products. Theres many many company selling different products and their goodies are all different. We spent about 4-5hours shopping in the fair. We took lots of flyers for references, as our agenda to IT show was to buy laptops. What is in my wish list is Apple MacBook. Yes, i bought a Apple MacBook, the latest one. Its so slim and simple, love it mannx. While my Bro bought a Asus lappy. Got lots of goodies from our purchase. Oh ya, my bro bought a Logitech mouse too, 39bucks only. According to his reviews playing on SuddenAttack, the mouse was great and he had more kills then before. hahahaha...
This is my brand new Apple MacBook 13". My Bro's Asus, 13" too.
Been busy past few days, went flying in the morning with Mike, went for dental appointment ( this time i put lime green colour ), went to gym pump my body. And feel like buying lots of things.
Okay now let me continue with my Doha trip. This episode will be about me coming back to S'pore. Lets start!
Right after our event, we went back to our rooms to pack up our stuffs to be prepared to check out. It was already 11pm++, and our flight is 2am, and we are still waitin for the event crew to tell us what to do next, either fly for the last time or check out. A event crew came to our room and settle us AhTong, we were lucky that we willing be checking out. We double check for our stuffs and left the room to the lobby. The event crew was very helpful, he fetched us to the airport. He told us that if we were to get taxi or resort cab, we had to pay alot for the ride to airport. Doha airport was not fantastic but acceptable, went to check it, took our boarding pass and went in. I was lucky that i sat a sit beside the window. Didnt have much time inside the duty-free/boarding area, we just browse around the shop and bought some snacks. Boarding onto the plane was not similar boarding in S'pore, we got to take a shuttle bus to the plane. Nothing interesting boarding the plane, its the same model. After the plane took off, i took a nap soon after it took off, dunno how long i had slept but i had not taken the first meal provided by them. One guy sitting beside me is a malaysian who works at Doha. I had thought of asking to change seat but didnt dare to ask him. I continued to take naps.. About 2-3 hours before touch down, they served the meal, it was quite filling, sorry no pic of it, forgotten to snap. So while im eating my meal, outside the plane is already bright day light. The flight entertainment was not bad, their videos can be played over and over again, they got many musics too. Finally its touching down to S'pore, and the malaysian sitting beside me opened his window. The view was just the best of the best, i can actually see the whole S'pore. Landing into S'pore was fast, the pilot just bang left and continue to fly striaght and landed. Had taken video of the landing and when it was landed, the footage was taken by the Malaysian who sat beside me, as he is nearer to the window. He also took some photos for me upon landing. AND yeah, im back to home, HOME SWEET HOME.
