A bit of a diversion!

As a bit of a diversion I am currently trying to design a 1/5th scale Hawker Tempest. So far it is not looking too bad.

Wing Internals

Manged to get a bit more time in the workshop last night. I have installed the two servo bays, one for the airelon and the other for the flaps. Hopefully there will be no push rods evident on the outside of the wing when completed.

I also installed wing former W1. I made a stand that was exactly 4.5 inches high, which is the amount of dihedral required at former W11. Then when the wing was propped up I used a set square to ensure W1 was vertical and a straight edge to make sure it wasn't bowed. Seems to be ok. Will do the other wing at the weekend and seem if they join up ok!

Started again at last!

I have finally managed to find some time to start building again. Last night I cut a slot in the stabaliser to locate it onto the fuselage and removed some stringers from the fuselage to allow the stabaliser to be positioned.

The next step is going to be skinning the wings, back to the model shop for some wood I think!
