| edtherenderman | Cleveland Westland Whirlwind | Build | 23-Jan-22 20:00 |  | | Views : 266 | | Empennage! The fin, rudder, horizontal stab, elevator and center section that they all connect to. The center section on the original model was to be carved from balsa block, but I 3D printed it instead. Using bamboo skewers to attach all parts. Elevator and bottom rudder hinge is made using .40 mm styrene shaped to fit into slots cut in leading edges with pins that will slot into the trailing edges of the fin and Horizontal Stab. Horizontal Stabs are covered in 110 lb card stock CAed in place. |

I don’t think I’ve built a model that you built both halves on the plans and joined them later. I like it! Makes it easier to get a straight fuse. I did notice that the former placement was slightly off though. I don’t know if that is because of the way I scanned in the plans, or just an inherent problem with them. Lesson learned…Measure out both sides and correct the plans if necessary. @ James, saw some pictures of your Ercoupe on the Blancolirio Channel on YouTube yesterday! |
