Own design and build sports turbine jet

The mould came out good well pleased with it

After cleaning it up

After 12 coats of polish, I will spray it with mould release tomorrow

Then I can cast the canopy
More done on the second wing





Pain in the back has been bad so had a couple hours in bed this afternoon, mind it gave me no sleep last night

They will never keep a good man down BB, and you are one of the best mate. Keep fighting , you will get there im sure

Well done that man,

Got on with the wing construction today, got the other main leg made

And got the wing all complete





Need to sand it down and dry fit the flap and aileron
Had a play with the wing position and air intake


Or further back by 100mm



Or in a higher position

Another night without sleep, pain killers doing no good at all
Got the second wing panel finished including the flap and aileron, and dry hinged them
not one of the best photo's don't know what happened

Cut the glass cloth for all the parts to be glassed





So ill be glassing them tomorrow
that's all for today

Very nice work. I know how it is Re not sleeping 05-00 and still not slept 4 th night on run

I again last night that's my forth night without sleep, I went into the hanger at two and glassed all the parts for the wings and tail, just got the canopy for the Revolver to do today now.

Not such a good day,
The parts that I glassed at two o-clock last night

Here with the surplus cloth cleaned off, I will sand all the edges down tomorrow

The Revolver cowl laid up

Thought I would glass the air intake plugs, just got the first one done and realised I had used polyester resin with the obvious result

Then I needed to find what servo I had used in the Bucker, I struggled to get the tiny screws out put to much pressure on the drive and this happened

Took a long time to set up the wing roots on the plug

Then I epoxied the root ribs on after keying the plug

More to follow

Drill out the holes for the wing tubes so I could check the fit

The had the obligatory fitting together





Only to find I had cock up the roots had got it out of square
Ill think of the best way around it over night
But pleased with the way it looks, its good when something comes together

going to be a nice looking aircraft when it is finished Tony.

Keep up the good work.

Ref. the wing position I put it as I had designed it, what I am trying to do is build it without having
to add weight as most jet models have to have church roof stuck in them some as much as 3 kg
The centre of the 3 lt fuel tank is on the C/G, it will have 4 lipo's in the nose so hopefully I can adjust them to get the balance
And so another night without sleep,1-30 now think ill go to the hanger

Nice work BB at least you can watch your tv in your little hanger.

No the tv don't work, i don't watch tv anyway, the one in the house is on a Russian station, have not sat and watch tv since maybe 2009, I like to be doing something, like at the moment I would like to sleep, as I have been awake all night again that's the fifth night on the trot beginning to feel it now

They haven't prescribed steroids in your medication have they? Because they are the worst things for keeping you awake.
