You're a jammy b*****d having a nice warm workshop!

Model looks great.

Where did you get the fancy jig?

I don’t now how you scale guys have the patients for such intricate builds. Looks like a lot of hard work to me. :!:

One thing I certainly admire, is a tidy and well kept workshop. “A place for everything, and everything in it’s place.”
Don’t you agree Andrew?

nothing fancy about the jig bill just a couple of lenghts of 1" right angled aluminum held together with a few bolts and blocks of wood

i've now got the fin almost finished and i'm working on the rudder

Where did you get the idea for the jig Andrew? Was it from the Scale Soaring UK forum?

this is the work done so far finally got the rudder made it took a bit of a hand out of me :!:

hoping this week to get the elevator done this is the lazor cut parts for it all i have to make is the leading edge which is made out of 1/2 balsa

JohnPearson · « **Reply #12 on:** February 07, 2011, 13:07:06 PM »

looking good Andrew! I like the jig idea, must make up one when I get time.

elevator now made i have a bit of sanding to do rounding the leading edge

before i start the wings i have a good bit of work to do to the fuselage, i'm going to first fix the tail plane on and set the incidence, i've already done a bit of work round where the canopy will go and where the cockpit will start

i'm always thinking ahead :!:

i've never built a set of wings with washout before so i'm looking for advice here, you can see from the drawings at the root it's set at 0mm and at rib 14 it's set at 3mm and at rib 27 it's set at 9mm
is there an easy way to build the wing getting the trailing edge straight :?:
