OLD A&P | 02-Feb-08 12:52 | Barnstormer, I fabricate the tail surfaces by laminating three pieces of 1/32" balsa. The center piece has profile of both the elevator and stabilizer. Two pieces of the sme size as the stabilizer are added to make the stabilizer 3/32". On the elevato |
Barnstormer | 02-Feb-08 13:00 | Thanks, Great info. I'm acheiveing similar results with a different method. I like your method better. Great explaination and diagram. Thanks |
OLD A&P | 02-Feb-08 13:00 | 1/32sq. is used top and bottom to simulate ribs. The whole unit is then covered with jap. tissue and clear dope is applied. You can separate the elevator and stabilizer later if you want moveable surfaces. But, I find it is easier to cover as one unit. Hope the drawing is of some help. Those two spots flying in close formation at about 8
o'lock on the drawing are not UFO's. They are actually bacon grease as I drew this at the kitchen table. |
