SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 31-Jan-11 22:01 Views : 878 Rudder assembly. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 31-Jan-11 22:00 Views : 875 Detail view showing the alignment of parts FW and FWST. Mine had some slop in the fit and the plans made it look like the tops are flush, but you want to make the bottom edges flush instead.

Bending the curves for the nose was a little tricky, but I brushed on water and let it soak and added a little more bend each day I worked on it till it was fully curved. Lots of butt joints, I hope they hold up. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 10-Jul-10 00:55 Views : 1020 The sides are complete, starting now on the bottom and top. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 30-Jun-10 20:59 Views : 1134 I cleaned out the thread holes with a pin vice then hardened the end of the thread with CA to act as a sort of needle. Rather than use thin CA to held everything together I opted for some 30 minute epoxy. It does add a little weight but I think it is worth it considering how rough some of my landings can get. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 23-Jun-10 21:33 Views : 1044 Lower wings also assembled and sanded to shape. SteveM Dumas Kit #1815,DeHavilland DH89 Dragon Rapide Build 29-Mar-10 22:04 Views : 1306 Upper wings assembled and sanded to shape. The plans give no indication of how many hinges to use and where to put them so I elected to put one near each end of the ailerons.
