Curtiss No. 1 (a.k.a. Golden Flyer)

Album image #1
Wings, post-Aero-skin removal, mid-trailing-edge correction. One of the ailerons, pre-Aero-skin removal. 
 

Album image #2
The kit had been started, and was relatively complete, except the engine was missing. I'll use this white-metal, Curtiss JN-4H/JNS-1 engine (which was quite similar), from an Olimp kit I won in the model club raffle. 
 

Album image #3
The Jenny engine is a bit too big for the mounts (the rear two cylinders should be to the right of the spruce beam). This will require some fixing. 
 

Album image #4
After much drilling and filing, the retrofitted Jenny engine fits in the more or less correct position on the bracket. 
 

Album image #5
Okey... The kit wings didn't fare too well in clean-up (removal of incorrect trailing edge resulted in some breaking of the spar tips), so now the kit wing makes a fine template to build a new scratch wing.
