poppy....I have been thinking and I think I know the DD secret......his cats! They must be a hidden labor force! |

Sweet job... try Al roof step flashing for the tough bends. Poppy... DD is remarkable I could never produce at his pace but this is not a race! |

Uh-oh! For the Master of Balsa Sheeting to say how tough it is, those of us just learning this technique are begining to sweat. This looks real good. Was the rear fillet part of the plan design or did you incorporate it thinking ahead for later? |

John M., I just realized DD finishes 6+ models to our one. |

Balsa covering complete. Those compound curves are a real b---h w/balsa. |

A neat fit. Some micro fill and sanding and all that should show are the slats. |

Bottom cut out for wing slat. Slats are capstripped with .02" styrene to compensate for i/32" balsa sheet covering. |

Wing covered. Belly pan a neat fit. |

.02mm styrene capstrips on belly pan compensates for 1/32" balsa covering. 1/8" added to bottom of former B6 compensates for wing trailing edge. |

Mods. to compensate for 1/32" balsa covering. |

Beautiful, really beautiful. I see what I missed switching to scale rc boats. Back to the drawing board....ironpony |

Thanks, James, and welcome home. I was beginning to have withdrawal symptoms for those few days. |

Wow, those dive brakes are huge, aren't they?! You are obviously a master of the plastic model kit as well, Poppy. |

1/48" model I will use as a guide. |

Another mod. Since I do not prefer to have retracts, I drilled a 1/4" hole in a 3/8" basswood block to accept a 1/4" dowel, which fits perfectly into the top of plastic l/g strut. |

A small mod. Extra riblets and rear cover to compensate for exposed area when center flap is dropped. |
poppy, Comment for image # 4589 | 06 Oct 07 19:26 |
Yea, it fits! |
poppy, Comment for image # 4588 | 06 Oct 07 19:25 |
Scale dihedral set in place. |
