So many people have helped me in modelling over the years and "Scrooge Cantwell" gave me such a good deal on the kit Tony,if it saves you a bucket load of grief they are FOC sir !!!!!
Unless in the unlikely position you have 120 four stroke under you bench from yesteryear :silly:

Now that I am older it seemed nice I have more patience.
Turns out "I don't give a s**t "

I have started the ailerons this morning.


wing fairing.

the fuselage just drops inside the fairing and it helps to line up the wing bolts.

ailerons done now.


started the rad ducting.




question.
do i leave it open or blank off the ends.

I may be wrong, but I understand it is best to blank off any dummy ducts, because the drag caused by the closed one is less than the open one.

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

As Eric is an accomplished typist, he beat me to it. Exactly my thoughts .

I am not sure that is always the case.
It depends on the aspect ratio of the duct. The Hurricane duct is quite deep in relation to its width and length but of course for scale looks it should not be 'empty' anyway.
I expect the difference would not be significant.

Retracts going in.


and they work.


started the wheel wells.


to make life easier if you have to replace and wing or retract servo's i am fitting 2 hatches in the underside of the wing so you can get at the connectors in the wiring.

The hatches are ine Tony , so long as you dont superglue the conectors together.
On the subject of leads I managed to pick a dozen 36 inch ones up at Retford for the sum of 50p each, saves on conectors

I couldn't make them for that Garry.

You should have bought the lot, Garry, then sold them on - on here, with a markup of 5p plus p+p each!

if you are calm and collected when all about you are going berserk - you've missed something important!

Back on topic. :cheer:
underside of the wing is now sheeted.
doors started.
used litho plate for these as it is thinner than balsa or ply and i can get it closer to the wing shape.


adding some gussets to the inside of the doors.


wiring hatches are in as well, will make life easier if you need to remove the retracts or aileron servo's.

Tony
Does the Litho plate actually need the wood support? Epoxy direct to the U/C leg?
