New build - RCME Bambina
angry_muppet:
I know it's not ideal perhaps in Irish weather, but at £15 for the laser cut kit, I decided it's worth a shot.
It's slow going with perhaps 10 minutes in an unheated attic at a time. Not because I'm a wuss and can't handle the cold... ;). Well, maybe partially that.
Started off with the fuselage... Didn't have anything else square to hold the corners in place...
But it seems to be square... :D
Started on the wing to allow procrastination for fitting the motor.
Then the other, and join them. Which I think may have been a mistake, since I need to shape the leading edge yet.
None the less, onto the tail plane and fin...
At 31" wingspan, she's a dinky little thing. 3 axis stabilisation will likely be required...
Fred:
Looking good 8) and looks like a fast built too!
You have a photo of the finished model?
angry_muppet:
Fast? Perhaps in time spent actually building... I've had the model for s month so far.
I'll post the finished item when I get to that stage... ;)
angry_muppet:
Finally got back into the (cold) attic again for another few nights of small bits and pieces.
Upper wing centre sheeting
Wingtips
Wing underside sheeting started...
And finished.
Back to the fuselage, with the rear lower decking getting glued in...
And a test fit of where the wing servo will go...
angry_muppet:
Vital addition to the "shed" ::) A heater!
I know self-praise is no praise, but it's certainly a lot tidier than building the skylark!
Wing assembly is complete. The upper side of the LE is roughly formed, so the final shaping is next on the agenda.
