    The other day while working on the leading edge sheeting, there was time left to finish up the spoiler levers. Must say it quite enjoyable. Also stained the inside of the rear seat wing area as it will be visible from the rear seat and lower wing windows.

    That's beautiful! Love your fuselage, again very scale like...

    Progress continues on the scratch build Bunny Nose LK-10A with a little snag. Cardboard templates were cut and fitted for the wing stub section with the other side yet to be done. You can get to a point that you loose momentum, so a step back to see what you have done and with the help of some masking tape where it has yet to go rejuvenates the building process .

    With the fuselage stringers installed and turtledeck fitted the old girl has nearly doubled in girth now. The nosecone has been set and with some whittling for the tow release and forward skid mount the nosecone just needs finishing along with a lot of other parts.

    Bryan, It was somewhat achieved on the Cherokee N72DG build and on the 40% Ka-3, but this airframe will unfortunately be totally covered up.

    Don't you wish you could fly them without having to cover up such beautiful structure?

    Some day it will sprout wings

    After building two extremely scale sailplanes it's time to start what might be another. The airframe is 1/3 scale with a wing span of 199.8", as for what it will be, it follows a numerical sequence. Being in the early stages it will sprout wings someday with a 18.64" root chord and a 7.324 tip.
Working...
