to brilliant, but it will do me.


need to sort the floor colour out next and give the cream another coat.

Looking fantastic Tony

Just think of the pitch of those seats compared to "cattle" class of today!

curtains tomorrow and then the fuselage halves can be glued together.

Fuselage joined at last, jut waiting for it to dry.


seats all in.
curtains done.

All i have got done today is to cut the tailplane core from 6mm grey depron.



maybe i will get it built tomorrow, if allowed.

Today i have constructed the tailplane and elevators.
6mm Depron core with a balsa spar and 3mm Depron skins.


it will go on about here once i have the fin constructed.


then i made a ladder and fitted it.


fin and rudder plan has been printed off and i hope to build it tomorrow.

byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Built the fin and rudder today.

Usual method of the 6mm Depron core with 6x3mm balsa spars and 6mm balsa hinge posts.

then skinned with 3mm Depron. sorted.
the spars extend beyond the fin so that they go through the tailplane and into the fuselage.

they then slide either side of the fuselage cores to hopefully make a strong joint, but time will tell.

so i plonked every thing in place and to me it looks just about great.



I will not be gluing this lot on till after the model has been completely finished and covered.
so the next job is to start the main wing centre section.

Very nice Tony, you are just getting better all the time.

Today i managed to print out the wing plans and cut the wing cores out from 6mm Depron.


a nice big fat wing so it should fly nice and slowly.



if i finish it.

Need to design all the ribs and spars next.
the nacelles will be fun

The first of the spars have been designed and built.


If i feel better tomorrow and get the time i will design and build the rear spars and take a look at the wing joining tubes.

the centre section will have all the motors and retracts in, so i need to plan it all out slowly.
i would not want to miss anything once the wing has been sheeted.

Well today i designed the top rear spars and built them up.
Then i glued them in place.
After that i designed and cut out the trailing edge ribs, then glued them in place.

Finally i cut out and glued trailing edge sheet home.



As i need the wing joining tubes before i can go any further with the centre section, tomorrow i will make a start on the spars for the outer sections.
i might even get the ailerons made.



i will need to cut the wing opening a bit more to shape when i have the wing finished.

Looks great Tony..very nice indeed
