Started chipping away on the PT last night...
So far, since I prefer to finish balsa more than I do plywood, I've laminated a 1/32" balsa sheet to what will be the exterior sides of the fuse. I used a very thin layer of 30 minute epoxy and then weighted it down to cure. I am also going to cut about 3/8" off all along the top of the sheet fuselage sides for a lower finished profile, simply for a better look.
I razor sawed a centerline in the wing and gave it a 1/2" of dihedral at each tip, again only for a better finished appearance. I reinforced the bottom of the wing at that section with some cloth tape and 30 minute epoxy as well. Once the wing is attached to the fuse I'll then add a fillet using Aero-Fil and it'll be all good to go.
I've decided to use the plywood stab and elevator and I have them sanded and ready for hinging with CA and some fishing line. I do think I'll make a new fin and rudder from 1/8" balsa.
I'll also be bending up a new landing gear using some slightly heavier wire than what was provided in the kit. Another detail will be substituting a 2-56 threaded rod and clevis for the stock kit pushrod.
I'll add some photos when I have a little more time...
