Guys,
Since I am working from home have a little time to pop into the shop and move some projects along. One is a Ringmaster that I got completely built and painted but not flown. I wanted to fit a Veco BB 19. This ship seems to be well built and comes in at 18oz without the wheels, tank and motor.
Problem is it was built with the kit mounts and plywood. I really don't want to tear up to much but having built some this way as a kid I know and have seen other crack at this piont. I was thinking to reinforce the joint at the wing/fuse by adding a 1/8" plywood gusset then fill in around the top and bottom with a balsa fillet and maybe 3/4oz glass cloth over the front 1/3. Anyone do something like this to the nose?
Best, DennisT
