1/3 scale Ka3

<< < (3/28) > >>

Fred:
Back to the Ka3 now, with a bit of work on the huge V-Tail over the week end !

All the pieces



And here we go ! The V-Tail assembly is a non event.. no difficulties at all here...





Ok, you can see the burn here... I think the cnc laser machine did a break here  :lol:  





And the result to motivate me !

Fred:
Next are the LE, sheeting (with 2mm balsa) and the tail joiner made of carbone tubes (7mm ext. and 5 mm int.) and glued with epoxy


Same here, a non event...






Et voila ! the hinges are Robart type. the moving tail LE is sanded in 1/2 circle.



Next ?... back to the fuselage, with the nose cone, and i'll start to have a look at the cockpit interior... :?:

cvanscho:
Non-events?  I would be proud enough of that work if I was you to regard it as quite an Event!

Fred:
:D
Ah well, no glory, it's just a big giant interresting puzzle !  :P
I had a look at the wings yesterday... Going to be big !  :D

Fred:
Not a lot done over the week end...
But a bit of work on the wings.
So, 1/2 wing is almost completed, just the sheeting need to be done.
Photos of the early stages :


As I said, big puzzle ! The spar is made of Pine wood...



And then, the top spar :


For the ailerons, a balsa pieces is interlocking with the ribs.



Easy !
Well, I'll take more photos tonight, but the wing tip is done, so as the Leading edge (balsa 10mm + 5mm) and waiting for the wing joiner to come in to complete the sheeting.
I'll start the second 1/2 wing tonight !  :D
