| I enlarged the interior of the cowl today so it can eventually accomodate a Clerget rotary engine. I also cut the exhaust vent into the cowl...a task that I have been reluctant to tackel. All went well. |

| Tried using the radio to call the hobby store for green zinc chromate acrylic paint and a wider 1 3/4" wheel for new design main landing gear. "V" shaped arresters are to fragile to install now, but they are in storage. |

| Covered wing is in place. Darn thing still doesn't look like an Enforcer yet. |

| Fuse and wing framed up. Wing design is . . . different. Plan never mentioned dihedral, so I took a guess. Still looks a bit flat. No provision for ordinance pylons, so I added some wood on the bottom to attach them to. |

| Heinkle re-do. The original wing ribs were so "punky" that shrinking the tissue compressed them into "S" curves giving warps that could not be steamed out. The model was unflyable. There were some other weakness in the fuselags, part because of the soft wood and part because of the design, even after I added some reinforcement. I tore the coveing off and did some re-engineering with stronger wood. The model is now going back together, warp free, and stronger, but seems. from weighing the components, to have only gained a couple of grams. Weather premitting, flight tests next week. |
