I used wire for the landing gear because I needed something that would not be easily damaged after landing on a hard gym floor.

I added some extra 1/32 stringers to give the fuselage a better shape.

On the fuselage, I thinned out most pieces and used 1/32 balsa for the rear bulkheads.

Note the large amount of rudder offset, mostly to counter the port wing's drag flap. There is also a fair amount of right and down thrust, working against the torque.

Not a Guillows Hurricane, but a scratch built one, about the same size. It is a little battered after years of flying and repairs. The port wing has a drag flap to keep it from spiralling to the left.

The rubber is stretch wound to about 600 turns. Note the balsa wood blast tube to protect the fuselage from a possible break in the rubber.

The heavy Peck prop, at 3.5 g, account for 1/3 the weight of the model. It also balances the plane without adding nose weight.

The completed P-6 comes in at 10.3 g (without rubber). Just a little over my target wieght.

Rigging is done with a needle and thread and is sewn through the structure. Note that the proper dihedral is now restored.

The frail structure bends and looses it dihedral under the weight of the wings. Bracing wire is essential.

Lego makes a great jig to line up the wings.
