CONSTRUCTION
The fuse is
of simple stick construction, overlayed with 1.5mm sheeting, for
stiffening. The profile fuse parts consist of 9.5mm square stock
and forward fuse section from 9.5mm sheet. The timber engine
bearers are built into the forward fuse section, and require the
builder to set the spacing to suit the engine type he will be
using. This is the only major change from the build sequence,
and the fuse can be completely built following the plans layout.
Around the tail position you will have to make allowance for the
insertion of fin and stab in the build-up fuse.
Using
aliphatic glue throughout, except for engine bearers, allows you
to achieve a nicely sanded finish prior to covering. After all
the initial parts and strips had been cut to size, the actual
build time for the fuse should be one evenings work, and that
includes drying time.....

Wing
The
wing material is 1.5mm ribs, 6.5mm sq. spars, 9.5mm strip
and 1.5mm sheeting. The aerofoil is shown full size on the
plan and only requires the builder to cut out 14 ribs from
the 1.5 sheet, then pin all the ribs together and give a
uniform sanding all over. Begin layup using traditional
rib, spar and sheeting techniques (D-tube). If you want to
make the wing construction a little easier, you can
include temporary rib tabs which will assist in keeping
your wing layup straight. The wing is a rather large
affair due to its wing chord, but the advantage here is
that the entire wing build should only be on the bench for
two nights..... YES, it IS that simple and easy. |

Be aware
that the position for the radio gear is purely a suggested
positioning, and the individual may have to make changes to suit
type and style being used.
Due to
ALL the R/C gear fitting inside the wing root area, the builder
will have to make hatches so that the gear is accessible for
service or adjustment... again suggested methods are shown on
the plan, but we all have our own modus operandi in this
respect, so study first, cut second. |
