I'll cover the bottom wings today so I can build the nacelles on it.

By arranging the wing patterns across the path of the paper going through the printer any distortion will be applied to both wings. The Sopwith Camel plans above it have the same layout the DH-89 has, providing potential for the left wings to both be shorter than the right wings. But of course they were dead on. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 23-Mar-10 20:55 Views : 870 The upper right wing on the plans is not to scale as you can see by this 3/32" gap at the end of the ailerion T.E. (Part A9) David Duckett Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 23-Mar-10 06:37 Views : 872 I'll finish sheeting the top out to the break but will not add any more wood to the outer panels.It's raining and the lilac bush just in front of the brick column is showing its first flowers.

David Duckett Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 23-Mar-10 06:27 Views : 849 The bottom has been fully sheeted and filled out to the break (gull). David Duckett Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 23-Mar-10 06:25 Views : 793 The top sheeting and two 1/16" stringers have been glued in place. This is as far as the plans go with the bottom wing.

I enlarged the laser cut holes with a T pin. The bottom sheeting is then glued in place. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 22-Mar-10 21:48 Views : 920 Making the tail feather outlines. I elected to make the bowing forms out of a lamination of 1/8" and 1/16" balsa sheet. It would have been easier to use some 3/8" thick by 6" wide sheet I had, but I couldn't bear to carve it up when I had a pile of low quality balsa from Tower Hobbies on hand. Notice I had plenty of broken sticks. Page (13 in total) :  <<   5   6   7   8   9  [ 10 ]  11   12   13  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
