Pilatus B4 build
Peter:
Right - seems with this poor weather quite a few of us are busy building. Here then is an update on progress with the B4. Fuselage is mostly planked now and servos/controls installed. It looks much better now I have added a nose block! Currently working on the first of the wings - fully sheeted structure so trying to get the innards sorted before adding the top sheeting. The idea is to build both wing panels minus the top sheeting so that I can sort out the joiners/dihedral/alignment to fuselage. Constructing a canopy is looming so any advice much appreciated - not done this before. Also would like to make a hinged metal (aluminium?)frame for the canopy perspex - how should I go about this?

Hi Peter
for the first time I see a B4 in an all wooden approach realy great :clap: That changes from this fiber and foam stuff.

Hi Peter,
Like Stephan, totally agree !
Really nice job, and so rare to see a Pilatus built in wood ! :clap: :clap:
Alan_Perse:
I agree also :clap: :clap: . And when it's fully built you won't even know it was built from wood.
Peter:
Thanks guys. Yep it is amazing what you can do with wood - time consuming but satisfying! I'm quite impressed with what complex shapes and curves you can create with a bit of effort.
