Paul Aucapina, makes scale airplanes out of wood

I'll tell you the story Paul Aucapiña, who happenedón for aviationón translates it by doing model airplanes of any wood avión and aerosolínea.

We continue looking for stories of entrepreneurs in aviationón, doías mostré the story of Juan José who makes paintings of themeséinmates in great detail from Costa Rica, Today we are going to talk about an Ecuadorian who loves aviation.ón, this is his story:

All this startedó from a very young ageñor that I liked the world of aviationón.

since más or less 10 añI'll start youé to build airplanes with the materials you haveíat hand as they were some sheets of paper, perióI said and everything that I could at that timeíto use. They advancedñI have already been changing materials towards PVC pipes (for the fuselage) and for the wings he used some plastic sheets.ástatic and little by little I was putting lights on them and trying to give it moreás details.

Until one dayía mi papa me reasonó and he told me that (becauseé I didn't make them to scale) so that I can get a little money, this for him 2017 when I was about to finish school and ahí I had my eye on this project.

For him 2019 se me presentó a job in Cuenca Airport for the company TALMA and services were provided to LATAM Airlines and this motivated meó aún más in the world of aviationón. I had the privilege of seeing cówhat the planes were like inside and out tooéI loved taking photos of the planes that arrived in Cuenca (watching the landings and takeoffs was exciting) This way I had an ideaás clear of cóhow to replicate airplanes.

The constructionón of airplanes

First I select the model to build and thenés I select the raw material which is wood, I put it on my lathe (to make the fuselage) and I start molding until it is something similar to the model I will build later.éI take it off the lathe and apply putty plástatic to give it the shape of the nose of the aircraftón (nose).

AfteréThat's why I proceed to draw a template of what the wings are., horizontal tail stabilizers, and the tail of the avión y así same make the cut already in the wood afterés until joining each piece that gives shape to the avión.

I continue with the painting until it isé dry and I start building the airplane enginesón with the same procedure until assembling them in the planeón.

Finally, it is painted to the avión with the image or aerosolídesired by the client, finishing with lacquer to give it a perfect finish..

my dreamñO

I really like aviationón, my dreamñor is to become pilot, but the costs of the race are very high, for which I dedicate myself to making these wooden planes to be able to fulfill it.
