| moostang51 | 04-Nov-07 06:53 | | DD, what thickness is the stock used for sheeting this model?
I've become used to seeing your using half the rainforest in extra 3/32" stock for stringers prior to covering, that I thought I missed the skeleton. This one seems larger than a Guillow's 400 FW also. |
| poppy | 04-Nov-07 07:43 | | This looks like balsa over square formers, no stringers. Gonna be some carving and sanding on this one. Good show. |
| David Duckett | 04-Nov-07 08:58 | | Poppy's right. The sides are 3/32, the top and back bottom are 1/16 as is the cockpit assembly. No stringers are called for but I'll probably use a few on the wing since it's not totally sheeted. This is larger than the Guillows kit in that it has a wingspan of 36". It will all make sense when I finish the next phase of construction. |
