I then glued it on to the 4 corners of the frame with plastic cement and used medium CA later. I glued the formers up to the edge of the piece and filled the spaces between the formers with 1/16" sticks. After light sanding I added some filler to make it all smooth and when that was dry and sanded I used just a spot or two of MIcro-Fill to finish. It needs just a light sanding and a couple of coats of dope to be ready to cover and at this point it weighs 1.8 oz or 53 grams. Although not to be used, I've put in the rails for the servos for strength and reference.

The 1/16" wood is fairly hard which is a plus.

After breaking it once, I made a piece from 3/32" balsa to fit between the sides and glued the sides to the piece. Leaving that top piece out, for now, made fitting the front plastic piece easier.

I should have used a harder pattern but I didn't have the "artists foam board" called for. You can see that they bent at the ends. The plans say to set these aside and build the feathers later but I didn't. Page (8 in total) :  1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
