Moving along at a slow but steady pace.
If I knew more about electric model construction, I could move a bit faster.
Construction is a bit different than that of IC models.
Got my mount cut and laminated, two pieces, 1/8" and 3/32. left and right sides will have somewhat of a flat. If I measured correctly.
These pin-ups are made of clear transfer paper, I've had this tracing technique posted before. Not really creative, but the backs are sticky and they stay in place while drawing ink lines. Drew the formers in my not CAD program.
Hopefully, these will be the start of my nose formers.
I do have to add noches for the left and right rails. I'll have rails but not as beefy as IC rails, .25" x .5" is what I'll use. Keep the nose moment stiff.
Also, the top part of these formers have to become a hatch to get at the "E" gear. Gotta keep that in mind.
Stole this from a Bob Hunt photograph. Actually stole a bit more, thank you Bob Hunt!
Combination square in use getting the front balsa pieces in perfect alignment on the vertical. I'll have one degree offset.
If I'm doing something incorrect, don't be shy, just say so.
I'm also removing bits of material from inside the model, trying to bring the weight down, gram by gram.
