The Internal structure of the Imitation wing and tail
« on: February 27, 2018, 05:55:22 PM »
Was taking some pictures of my Profile Imitation build and thought this one did a good job of showing the construction.  I did sheet the outboard bays for extra strength.

Brent I have not weighed it yet.  I have the paint stand insert screwed to the radial mount and Still have to install the gear and apply some more dope.  Just picking it up it feels fairly light for a model this big.

He Gil,

I am also a Director of Communications for the Louisiana wing of the Civil Air Patrol and if you noticed in the picture you will see a HF and a VHF radio sitting on my work bench.  That is why that bench is so clean.  Now, If you could see the rest of the shop it aint so neat.  LOL...
