| Jastafuhrer 13 | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Build | 29-Jan-14 13:44 |  | | Views : 688 | | Test fitting the wing I ran into a problem. Former #3, which is the dash, hangs down into the hole and wetting ribs bump into it. Called Dumas and they admitted it was obviously a problem but they had never realized it before. Former#2 is flat on the bottom and forward of the leading edge. You could switch the two formers and probably be okay. Palerunner must have did this in his build because you can see they appear both ways in various build photos. I'll flatten it off and but another dash veneer on after the wing is in. I also asked Dumas about the lack of decalage in the stabilizer... Wing and stab are dead parallel. He said he'd add a degree of negative to the stab. I wonder if active there has actually built or flown this model. |
| Jastafuhrer 13 | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Build | 29-Jan-14 13:33 |  | | Views : 717 | | Downsized the rigging attachment blocks to 1/16 instead of 1/8. Beveled the top edges to hide under the tissue without lumps. Filed the holes as a groove on the side of the blocks before gluing. Drilled with #80 bit after. |
