| rayl | Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A | Build | 11-Mar-15 10:20 |  | | Views : 448 | | Starting to figure out how to do the canopy. Coke bottle canopy and 1/32" Bass laminated over forms that were lifted off of the canopy master. I used soft Plumbers solder to duplicate the the cross-sections to transfer to my bending forms. Soaked the Bass in warm water for about 10 minutes, clamped them to the forms then popped them into the oven at 180 deg. F for about 20 minutes to dry out the bass. Worked great. |

| rayl | Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A | Build | 04-Mar-15 16:49 |  | | Views : 461 | | I now have all of teh L/G doors constructed but are still figuring out the hinges and actuators. BOuncing around between items, I also now ready to start on the cockpit with the instruments printed out and teh Inst. panel picture test having been test-fit for the proper size. Off-camera, I have some laminated bows for the canopy drying on their forms. |
