Thanks for the kind words again guys. It helps motivate me to post more. I'm having a ball building this plane. Really enjoying it. Smiley Smiley


More on the tail wheel.
A little more time on the mill and the gear is ready to be mounted. Not the right wheel yet but you get the idea. The tiller arm is yet to be installed. I haven't started any of the servo mounts so the arm will come after that.

Well my screws arrived the other day so I can start fitting the panels to the plane. Once the panels are done the fuse will be ready for covering Cheesy

Wondering how you finisf the 'oveflap' of the cloth? Do you add 'stik it' to the overlap to glue it down? Or does the dope take care of that?

All I did is add more stick-it to the overlap. I'm not going to use dope on the plane. A good modern filler primer will fill the weave then paint it with base coat clear coat.  I also used thin ca around the cut out areas so they cant move when you shrink it down. Use very little because it will make the covering brittle. I also let the glue dry for a day and went back and hit it with the heat to really shrink it down. I want that concave look between the ribs. It is amazing how much coverall will shrink but be careful with it.  It will pull!


Three down and one more to go.
