Pilatus B4 build

(1/6) > >>

Peter:
Not really a build tread - I work too slowly for that!  But a progress report on a Pilatus B4 build from an old Mike Trew plan.  As you can see from the photographs, the fuselage is coming on.  Half planked (that took a bit of time!) and currently I am working on the controls before planking the rest.  Made the tailplane last weekend - it is bolted on.  As I have changed the wing section I want to be able to alter the longitudinal dihedral as I suspect that on the plan is too high for the HQ25/12 section I am using.  So far so good - but anyone else building from this plan, watch out for F11 - this does not have the correct profile!  

Anyway - best wishes to all for the New Year.  Scamper - I hope all this talk of DG1000s does not mean you have give up on your B4!!!

scamper:
Looks very good.  :clap:  Hope to get going on mine again soon. I got the wood, piano wire joiner and airbrakes from Topmodel with the DG-1000. All i need now is the motivation. :lol:

I put F11 in and didnt notice until later that it was wrong. I had to glue another piece of ply to it to get it to the right profile.

Fred:
