I'm screwed ! :)

Hi there,

I finally received my plywood for the Opel !
0.8mm plywood for the fuselage, and 0.4mm for the wings.

I've started with the fuselage flanc, to finish (for the time being) with the bottom fuselage. That still give me access via the top section to the fuselage interior to install the pilot seat and so on before closing the fuselage definitively. Easy to do, but no mistakes allowed with the plywood, but by going slowly that do a perfect job !





For the struts, I've cut the space for them after I've glued the flancs. Easier that way, once again if you are carefull (using a small router) :



And that's it for now ! This week end, I'll finish the fuselage and start to cover / do the sheeting of the wings.

Alan_Perse:
How's the project going Fred.

Fred:
Hi Alan,
Almost there ! I think this week, will be my last one on the Opel  :(

Here are some pictures :


Plywood, it's beautiful ! I think I've just fall in love with this material ! So much easier to work than the balsa !






I just have to finish the sheeting under the wings on the fuselage, but I leave it like that for now as I'm doing the servos wirering.. Just in case.. But nothing is glued yet.
