More work done yesterday !

The wing tips are done. the upper spar has been cutted to stick to the last 2 ribs. The gap will be filled with epoxy. The 2 triangles at the end are for the tip reinforcement... I'm a bit affraid that will bend during the covering (I will use Diacov from Diatex...Really strong !)



And the cockpit frame is on the way.... slowly but surely ! You can see everything, so, that need to be detailled ! The nose cone is not glued yet.. I have to make a tow release mechanism first....




Well, the second 1/2 wing is already on the workbench.. I can't wait to put the wings together on the fuselage to see the beast !

Hi Paul,

Me too !!!  :P  :P

Sick since a few days... Haven't done much in the Ka-3... Garage is too cold !
Done the ailerons and prepared some bits for the week end.
My plan is to give it a good push over the week end.. Almost done !  :D

Well, after a week off the garage (Flu.. :( ) Time to go back to the good old balsa sheets and start to do some work on the Ka3 !

So, here we go :



The wing sheeting is made from 2mm balsa. No real troubles here ! A balsa striper is used to make the 10mm wide strips for the ribs.

Good to be back !  :D
