Disappointment with Supplied Consumables, Building a 1916 Sopwith Camel 

Hi John, yes saw the video thank you and thanks for the tips.

Thank you

These are just rubbish, to save a few dollars.

Thanks for watching!

Hello there! Thanks for saying G’Day.

Nailed it, thank you

You don't need to hit the return key every time the text gets to the edge of the screen as it does that automatically 😆😆

@@guff3163 G'day, Really, Is that a fact ? Look up "Blank Verse", and then try "Free Verse", and then talk to a Printer... The definitive difference between Prose and Poetry...; is that Poetry is Capitalised at the start of every line. If you prefer toe-tapping Couplets Quadruplets And even rhyming Sextuplets ; Plus some scattered actual Iambic Pentameter...(?), Then report you Immediately unto My "Warbles In The Wilderness..." Playlist. Lots of the Titles are Couplets, "CITIZEN..." is Blank Verse, "GEOGRAPHICAL HISTORICITY..." is written in Quadruplets, and "THE LONG RUN...(Abridged)." is the one done in Sextuplets. "MINING WITHOUT LOSS..." is Iambic Pentameter, and if you want the Aeronautical/Poetic one, then strap in for, "REQUIEM FOR A REDHEAD...; Crash-Analysis of John William Robson & his 35-hp Mk-3 Skycraft Scout." You have the honour to be trying to Troll the Environment Centre, Armidale's Duly appointed (in 1997) Poet-In-Residence. Look up Judith Wright..., To see whom it was, that I was invited to Replace...(!). One is a bit of a Wordsmith.... I play with the language, for the fun of attempting to communicate precisely. Suck it up Cupcake, Or be ye a Snowflake, Hmmmnnn ?(!). I've been on YT for 13 years, never monetised, on a prepaid Mobile Phone (2.1 million Views, 5.49k Sub's & 3.4k Uploads...) ; and my Channel Name had been my nickname for 25 years before my daughter Tubularised me, Actually THE Fool On The Hill..., D' y' nae see 't Yet, still...? Be ye such a Dill ? Just(ifiably ?) sayin', Take it easy mate... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao ! PS, If you're not into Poetry (?), then maybe try My "Mad Scientist Videos..." playlist, Or the "Personal Aeroplanology..." ; And 8 Playlists are Wildlife Encounters - sorted by Species (!). ;-p Ciao!

@@WarblesOnALot Sun in eyes And blinded clear Incapable to see The evidence Set before me The quandary As appeared Was not of tongue Nor cant Nor speech But rather Of technology So please accept In simple verse Though not adept Yet humbly From me to thee An apology Feel free to rip it apart 😛 Ciao

@@guff3163 G'day, Bravo ! That's the best response yet, to my attempting to explain why I sometimes find it impossible not to emphasise conversational points by either throwing in a Couplet, or Resorting to Blank Verse... Phonetic spellings with precise punctuation can be fun, too... I never paid much attention to such things until recovering from a Downwind Takeoff in an Ultralight Motorglider ; involving a fractured Calcaneus (when the Fencepost entered the Cockpit & hit the Rudder-Bar...) and Headbutting a flat plate of tempered Aluminium hard enough to break Glass in the Mk-8 Flying Goggles I was wearing with the olde-timey leather Flying Helmet... The 1992 Concussion was atop a 1975 Skull-Fracture which had ended my learnings in Mathematics Classes at age 14..., and while on Crutches I read a Bookshelf full of Time-Life's collected "Great Works Of Australian Literature"... And "Such Is Life..." by 'Tom Collins' (Joseph Furphy) Had a BIG influence - being basically one big long intricately written fractally Internecine Segue, employing deliberate "Mis-spellings" and very intense punctuation to convey the Dialect employed by (& underlying cultural Mindset of ) his Characters. So as I was rewiring my Left Frontal Lobe, for the second time in 20 years, kinda thing ; I went wallowing in Phonetically expressed late-Victorian Australiana, and I started as a 1961-vintage only child of the Town's Odd Couple, in Glen Innes when inland Regional NSW Country Towns were functional Social Black Holes where Time flows more slowly - and setting up the local Museum was my Parent's hobby when I grew up... So I emerged thinking and writing in a mixture of Olde Colonial Vernacular, and 'Strine(!) Henry Lawson hybridised with Paul Hogan, kinda thing. And in 1996, when I'd been living at Skeleton Creek for a year, I commenced to bubble up and overflow with what I thought were Bush Poems... Until I published a book of them under that title and started getting thrown out of Bush Poetry Competitions. Apparently Lawson and Patterson's Legacy has Bin-Captured by professional Comedians whose position was, more or less, "I hope you're not going to do any of that Political Shit..., I want the Audience smiling and laughing and happy and ready to tap their toes to the rythm and try to guess the next Rhyme...; I don't want them to be THINKING About History and Local Massacres and Deforestation & Erosion & Salination & Desertification..., And all that Shit...! So you go out there and Tell them a funny story...!". So it emerged that his big Schtick was a yarn about a pair of geriatrics on their Wedding Anniversary, remembering what it was to be young and horny... Thus I realised me To be A Forest Poet, Instead....(!). Banjo Patterson and I were both born on the same day in February, both in a "Chinese Year of the Ox", so we're both "Ox/Oxen" as the Buddhists might say ; both Left-wing Dypsomaniacal, Environmental Activist Poets writing about the Australian Landscape...., which is a bit weird. Maybe every 12 years in May Australian women Conceive a Crop of Poet's, All born the Following February...; And, then, Some of us Notice the ability to Rhyme Lots of the time. And some of those pick up on the terms & conditions of a Poetic Licence. Engraved on Anodised Metal, mounted on varnished Wood, pocket-sized (the better for Busking), my copy states ; "There are 3 Excuses to Tell the Truth a Public Place...; 1) If You're Mad, 2) If You're Drunk, 3) If You're Poet...". The Engraver was tired, maybe drunk too, it was 23:15 on Sunday night at the Tamworth Country Music Festival & I'd spent 3 days at $180/day in the Hat, thrown by Rednecks tapping their feet & trying to guess the coming rhyme In the next line, As I illuminated what a horrible bloody mess we The EuroPeon Colon-ists have made of Oz, This past 250 years... (!). I put in about 7 years doing that. But not long after I started, Oz elected Flak-Jacket Johnny The snivelling Coward (Johnny Coward is an Evil Hunt {!} ), And with his Busyness Migration Visa he imported a massive Bolus Dose of Refugee Rich Whaite Sooth-EffriKaaner "When-We's"..., Enticed here, specifically in order to bolster the Ruthless Selfish Moneygrubber Vote, the better to turn the Nation which applauded Paul Keating's Redfern Speech..., into the White Christian Nationalist Rump attempting to Contain the Ethnic Tensions within the now over 50% of the CitiZenry Who have no Parents Or Grandparents who were either Born on this Continent, nor Born to anybody who was born here. On this currently collapsing Dysfunctional Delaminating Decrepit ruined remains of what used to be very A lovely Country within which to grow up. Even when I was young, One could readily see What used to be Before the Sheep & Potato Brigade Colon-ised EVERYTHING which they failed to fully Underconstumble, at their First ignorant arrogant and hubristic Glance. So..., yeah..., I do tend to Break out into Poetry, Expressing myself in the Threads...; Even when talking Aeroplaneology. Some people are puzzled, some enjoy it, some hate it ; and I figure they can read it as slowly as they like, using a dictionary if that helps - but I'm not ever goanna live up to the Expectorations of any Dimdamdumprik who thinks to communicate in TextSpik, using Spiel-Korrecticalising Software and Predictive Text as well...(!). I might be a pedantic cantankerous old Toothless tasteless mangy-looking Recovering Zombie, but that all sort of goes with the Job. When qualifying as The Fool On The Hill, happily enough I already had the title-deed to Hill on which I live - with my doorstep being Vertically-superior to every Ridgepole for 15 Km in all directions...; in a Stringybark/Box/Wattle Regrowth Forest - which I've run as an Endangered Species Sanctuary since 1990. I'm here because in 1978/'79 at Olde Bowral Airfield I used to be the Grass-Aerodrome version of a teenaged Tarmac-Terrier, working on the Aeroplanes under supervision in exchange for Flying Lessons. I used to be allowed to try to position the Propeller on the (Transavia) Sopwith Pup Replica's Armstrong-Siddley Gennet-major's Engine before the Pilot wound the Starter-Magneto, but it took more experience than I possessed to get it to actually start. I played with the Fokker DR-1 as well, and 2 Tiger Moths, a Piper Cub & one of 2 Hornet Moths...; but I always wanted a Camel. I would have done it entirely in Aluminium & Pop-Rivets, with the Original Aerofoils, a Rotax-377 reduction-driving an 8-foot diameter Propellor at 5.6:1 ; with Lead Weights on a Steel driven Pulley to make it balance Correctly..., AND also to Exhibit all the Period Correct Gyroscopic Effects and Precessions.... But the Beaurocrats at CASA have apparently abolished ANO-95:10 Entirely... So it would now be completely illegal for me to even rebuild my 2nd Aeroplane - and thus Electrify the Ultralight Motorglider with spare bits from my Electric Motorbike (!)...; let alone trying to cobble up and tinker together enough Rivets to be able to fly around in a little Cameloid Lookalike, which at least Handles properly...(!). My father's uncle flew Camels, briefly, with 4-Squadron AFC, and mum's father got an FAI Aviator's Certificate in 1917 with Stutt's School of Aviation at Williamstown and the English King pinned his AFC Wings on him, in March 1919...; so I grew up thinking myself to be Biggles. Search YT for, "National Transportation Museum ; Visiting My First Aeroplane...!" to giggle at what took me for my first Solo. Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

There is no QC.

Hi Trev, just LED lights from the hardware shop, cheap ones really but second time around.

Thank you, yes green is Stewart system adhesive.

Yep,rubbish

@@scottmatthews5280 so 'badly cut'!

Yes, 1/2” wide fibreglass tape then 2” fabric over the top

@@scottmatthews5280 is this fiberglass tape the same material you used for the drain hole reinforcing disks? I like that you reinforced under the rivets. I wouldn't feel comfortable without some sort of reinforcement to keep them from pulling through.

No, the drains are a Teflon type washer especially made for this purpose from aircraft spruce

@@scottmatthews5280 Awesome, thank you for the info. It really helps.

Yep unusable.

In Scott's defence, there are times where he has demonstrated the processes and I don't think he intends them to be "how-to" videos. To show all the repetitive stuff would actually get quite tedious to watch. I enjoy the way his videos are put together. A little bit of the process and then voila, here it is finished. They're not too long and certainly keep me engaged. But then I'm not trying to build a Camel myself so maybe some of you guys need to see more of that? A tripod would allow two hands free when filming some processes but, again, it could get boring if there were too many static shots and, personally, I love the informal, chatty, walk around, story-telling vibe 😀

If you don't like how heroes his videos then don't watch them. It's pretty simple.

Okay, standby for four hour video of me sanding.

@@scottmatthews5280 Exactly! 🤣🤣

Good point however an edge standing up is very ugly.

Brand new pinked edge tapes have been installed rather than the supplied inferior product, no research needed thank you.

Next time I will.
