Hi All. Here are some more pictures of my K8 fully assembled, this time in the Irish Sun

. I have done some extra work on it but you can't see it in these photos.

I'm really happy now

. It's starting to look like a K8. I hope to have it finished by the end of June or first week of July.

Thanks Guys. Can't wait to get it into the air. Working on putting the airbreak servos into the wing at the moment. Then I'm going to build the ailerons and the put the aileron servos in. Then all I need to do to finish the wings is to finish sheeting them, e.g putting rib capping strips on etc. I need to do some more work on the Tailplane though. It twisted :!: :!: . But I should be able to sort it out.

Great work Alan!
Two and a half years - quite a long way.

Where did you buy the wood from ? I saw you got it all at once .

Alan_Perse · « **Reply #88 on:** June 17, 2009, 16:24:32 PM »

Dennis. I think I bought the wood from Inwood Models. www.inwoodmodels.co.uk . Its a good while ago now, but I'm pity certain it was them.

Ok lads here's an update. The K8 is coming on well. The tailplane and fin are now fully sheeted and are almost ready to be covered. The wings are almost finished, all the servos have been installed and just need wiring up. The leading edge and wing tips have been glued on and just need sanding. I have also done some things with the fuselage. Here are some pics.
