Welcome to the club. :)
gerryb:
welcome aboard rich. goes to show real aeromodellers/aeromodelling are very much alive!
i'd be a bit wary of using white glue on an open structure (pva, i asume?). to my knowledge it's not usually waterproof so i'd suggest you make sure it's well varnished when the model is finished.
hope you enjoy the build, gb
Richard Boyd:
Thanks gentlemen for the kind comments.
This wood bashing as JP calls it is very addictive and seriously satisfying.
Hi Fred , yes I think this is the 1/5 scale SG38.
Hi Gerry , THANKS FOR THE POINTER ABOUT WHITE GLUE.
I never thought about the glue on an open frame, so now it will have to be well protected from water. A few coats of thinned varnish should protect the joints.
Richard Boyd:
Tail boom got started yesterday,
Spuce top boom halves jointed for extra strength
Frame on the plan
Cross section strengtheners and gusset are all cut sanded and fitted.
Richard Boyd:
Made a start on the rudder today, for such a small part there sure is alot of bit to cut out and glue together.
