1/3 scale Ka3
Fred:
Thanks John ! :D
But I haven't done much on it for the past 2 weeks :oops: :oops: :cry:
Back to the workshop this week end ! :D
Fred:
Well, after a looonnnggg break, it's time to go back to work !
This time, with the canopy frame.
The frame is made of 4mm diameter brass tube. Everything is solded using good quality solder.
The wood is protected with aluminium fold, and everything is solded in place. That will allow a perfect fit of the fram to the fuselage.
Et voila !
Looking good. Just some finishing touches to be made, and clean the frame.
Tight fit on the fuselage. Looking good. all that, for a little 2hours of work !
I also have glued the V-Tail mounting/Support to the fuselage (no photos) and I'm shaping the nose cone.
Fuselage almost ready for covering ! :D
joe:
Looking good Fred!
Really getting there now :clap:

Very very nice Fred. Looking forward to see it grace the sky. :)
Fred:
Thanks Anthony ! Me too !! :D
A step closer now !
So, after a long break, this week end was Ka3 time !
The fuselage is now finished, and need to be covered.
Some detailing has been done and need to be completed (a few details like the harness, control yoke etc etc)
The paint is a spray "stone effect" from the local DIY shop. Great effect, and hide all the defects ! :oops:
The struts support on the fuselage were also glued. Made from 1.5mm aluminium. I also made some guides for the pushrods... The servos are in the cockpit, and it's a bit of a long way to get to the V-Tail !
And here is the beast, ready for covering (after the building jig is removed ! Very handy to have this to work on the fuselage...)
Next, the wings !
Servos, wirering and covering... Getting there !
