1/4 scale Opel Rak
Fred:
Well, not that much really.. Only 2 spars glued yesterday, and the tubes for the wings keys... That's all.
But thanks to the CNC anyway, as without the machine, I'll still drilling holes on the ribs ! (around 200 for the wings...)
joe:
Wow! lookin good Fred! :D :D it's goin to be great!
Just got my phone line working again since before christmas(eircom suck donkey b**ls).Am still a bit shakey from the withdrawal but starting to feel better!
Fred:
Welcome back to the Matrix !! :D
Fred:
Hi there,
After a Saturday at the slope, a bit of work has been done sunday on the Opel, starting with the fuselage. The pieces :
Not a lot ! So, that goes really quickly to assemble :
After that, not a lot of work need to be done on it. Plywood sheeting, and space for the pilot, batteries and receiver.. Yep, no servos on the fuselage, they are all in the wings and tail !
First look at the fuselage with the wings :
Well, looks like the picture... Always a good sign !
Back to the wings for a while, and it's time to glue the LE (10mm balsa) and the TE (1.5mm plywood) :
Then, we do the same on the 2 external wing panels, and we can do a final setup and have a look back on the beast :
Well.. Not bad at all ! And the more I look at it, the more I think that can have a decent flight !
This week, it's time to work on the tail (elevator and rudders) section ! More ribs !
Fred
joe:
Wow! you really do work fast Fred! looks good.Bet your glad you built that cnc machine!
