David Duckett | 26-Jan-12 07:22 | Several notches had to be adjusted to keep the stringers in line but that's expected and didn't cause a problem. Former #3 was about 1/16" high on the beam so it got sliced a bit more. Next step is to infill the bottom center section so the first two blocks can be put in place. |

lukebozek1 | 26-Jan-12 19:07 | I always enjoy watching your builds, this precision beam design looks great! They did a show on the dam busters where they simulated the rotating drum striking a dam they built in Canada. A DC4 was the plane and they did manage to skip the bomb about 350 yards or so into the dam wall. Keep us up to date please. |
TJH | 26-Jan-12 21:41 | This is looking good, David. |
David Duckett | 27-Jan-12 06:39 | Thank you. I like the beam construction and it is indeed easier and faster once all the pieces are cut and notched. It's very strong and straight, too. The beam is 1/8" hard balsa and all the stringers are 1/16" from Guillows kits cause they're stronger. I like this kit so far. The wing and tailfeathers are fairly simple structures using lots of wood. Oh joy, oh rapture!! |
