| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 19-Jul-09 03:49 |  | | Views : 850 | | Just had to put it together and take a look see. |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Reference | 18-Jul-09 21:33 |  | | Views : 818 | | This is where the BV will be flying. That is the landing surface (rock strewn hard pack or pokey bushes) that will pretty much decide which material I cover with. I really want to use Esaki, but.... |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 18-Jul-09 21:25 |  | | Views : 766 | | What is it with me and "Swoopees"! |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 18-Jul-09 21:24 |  | | Views : 721 | | I also cleared the material on F1 between the stringers to allow the infill to continue to the nose block (uo next). Plus it was a whole lot easier! |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 18-Jul-09 21:20 |  | | Views : 728 | | Where the laser cut infill pieces met the "use scrap to infill" with a butt joint, I beveled the mating surfaces to create a stronger Lap joint. Worked out well. |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Reference | 16-Jul-09 04:58 |  | | Views : 782 | | I do believe the pilot dropped something and is frantically searching the cockpit floor ( that's why you can't see him, or her! Painted this back in school in '85. |

| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 15-Jul-09 03:48 |  | | Views : 763 | | Started infill on nose. Extendedback on the bottom for landingson the hard stuff. |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 15-Jul-09 03:45 |  | | Views : 807 | | Bevel the infill pieces where needed. And remember to sand off the laser " Ala Chara" on the seams... unless you prefer little black lines on your joints...(ahem). |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 15-Jul-09 03:34 |  | | Views : 778 | | The wingroot sheet infill pieces are precut.Went in wonderfully. Glued in the two adjacent stringers on nose and tail only first, then lower adjacent stringer where indicated by laser marking on only F3 and F6 (nose is F1). Then glue lower infill piece to formers using the stringer two glue points like a shelf. finishinish gluing stringers, Add top wing root infill piece. Done. |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 14-Jul-09 02:34 |  | | Views : 799 | | Exhaust trough. The "Active Air Ducting" is used to help reduce drag (venturi like during boost as wel as eliminating turbulence around the motor nozzle. The trough gets lined as well woth paper then aluminum foil. |

| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 14-Jul-09 02:21 |  | | Views : 729 | | Everything to make it go done. The paper is 67 lbs. Vellum Bristol ( used for "Fiddlers Green" models). |
