The 18" ruler shows the size. All the notches for these stringers will be done with the xacto. David Duckett Cleveland de Havilland Mosquito Build 10-Mar-14 05:26 Views : 469 I wrapped the plan around the building board to keep it intact. This is the only thing that will be built directly on the plan. Patterns for for the other structures were done with traving paper. As I've used nothing from the kit I'll be putting it back on ebay when I'm finished with it. David Duckett Cleveland de Havilland Mosquito Build 10-Mar-14 05:22 Views : 553 I used the parts in the kit as patterns for the pieces I'm actually using to build the kit. I left extra wood at each end of the rib so it can be cut to fit precisely. David Duckett Cleveland de Havilland Mosquito Build 10-Mar-14 05:16 Views : 559 It's very important to insure the leading and trailing edges are prevented from warping by the addition of the ribs so they are pinned in place on the outsideof, not through, the wood. Due to the curvature of the bottom of the ribs, the aileron spar must also be blocked up.

I pinned the front spar in place and then set the outer, inner, and middle ribs in place. THe leading and trailing edges were then set in place using the ribs as guides. The leading edge is 1/4" x 1/2", spars and trailing edge are 1/8" stock, and the aileron spar is 3/16" stock. David Duckett Cleveland de Havilland Mosquito Build 06-Mar-14 05:22 Views : 515 For now..... David Duckett Cleveland de Havilland Mosquito Build 06-Mar-14 05:18 Views : 456 The front of the nacelles will get another half inch of wood or so before final shaping. David Duckett Cleveland de Havilland Mosquito Build 06-Mar-14 05:14 Views : 465 I plan to have the wheel wells open to some degree and that will mean removing lots of wood once the landing gear doors are fabricated. No specific ideas are in place yet but I find it helps to think about the tasks ahead without formulating a particular plan. Sometimes the solution will suddenly seem clear as a day in Arizona. David Duckett Cleveland de Havilland Mosquito Build 06-Mar-14 05:08 Views : 430 The mosr difficult part of the build will be the installation of the landing gear so I'm stopping the infill here until I figure that out.
