Peter I sent you a PM, not on the war wings, it was about the radio.

Small update

Transmitter just got back and I will be reprogramming the planes today.

Aiming for Sunday as my first day out but it's not really confirmed yet. Will have to see were the weather and school go

I built some nacelles, just for looks.

I used paper and cardstock to make templates, and then made the nacelles from 1/32nd balsa sheet, with inner balsa tubes glued with epoxy to stiffen the assembly. Then covered, and put it place with friction and tape.

 

Nice going.

Pic 17 & 19 is the competed cowl
Pic 18 is the completed fuse. Pic 20 is with the battery hatch cover
This essentially completes the actual building.
I will do the sanding and covering over the next few days, and will post pics as I progress.

Pick 13 is a paper cutout I used to figure out the cockpit. After a bunch of tries (I'm terrible at visualizing "stuff), I finally got the shape I wanted and then transferred the paper to the balsa sheet.
Pic 14 is the motor box being mounted to the firewall.
Pic 16 shows the top view of the motor box and the cowl being formed
2 things about the motor box:
-Another of Frank's suggestion is to wrap the box in dental floss, and cover this in epoxy. This increases the strength of the box substantially.
-I added some basswood around the box, more for my own piece of mind

Pic 11, shows the measuring of each side of the wing to ensure they're aligned to the fuse.
Once I have that correct, I can drill the holes for the wing bolts, and install the blind nuts.
Pic 12, is a top view of the assembly of the battery hatch cover.
Wax paper between the assembly and fuse, and inserts (circled) to align the holes where the magnets will be glued.
Everything aligned properly including the the magnets.
