Starting a new day

Hello fellow Radio Control model builders my name is Gary Glasband and I am interested in a place my club members and fellow builders can go to discuss building techniques and look at my latest projects.  I build RC model airplanes both from kits and from scratch.  I also use original designs and build off of other peoples plans.  I plan to use this Blog to publish pictures and videos of my work and projects both incomplete and past completions.  I also am very open to opinions and alternative ways of approaching projects.  There are so few places builders can meet to share ideas and opinions that I felt this is a new way to accomplish that. 

A little about myself I was born and raised in the Los Angeles area and have been building models sine the time I was 8yrs old.  I have continued to do model airplanes off and on for the next 46 yrs.   My intention is to publish still photography and videos on this blog.  I will be experimenting with different photography and video techniques and I am teaching myself about video editing as we go; therefore please make suggestions constructive.  Well enough said lets go!
These are pictures of my 33% Cobra biplane one of the 5 airplane's that I finished building this year.  It was built from Dan Satich plans published in Model Airplane News.  Constructed out of balsa, plywood and fiberglass.  Covered in 3/4 oz fiberglass cloth and West system epoxy resin.  Painted using Klass Kote paints.  Powered by a DA 50 with a 23/8 Bolly prop.

Upcoming subjects are my video blog of building the Sig Sealane flying boat in time lapse photography and the completion of my 25% Aeroworks 330 Extra.
Comments welcome,
Gary

  2. Nice photos Gary. I'm also in Long Beach (east side). Good to know there are other modelers in the area. I can't say I'm quite at that level of building yet. I'm currently working on the obligatory 1/4 scale Cub kit.

    Do you fly at Whittier?
