Well I`ve spent the last few weeks on a very interesting build of the Westland Lysander, it is now waiting for me to make a choice on which motor for electric power?
I elected to do it the hard way and manually cut out the parts using a jigsaw upside down in a workmate. Using photocopies of the parts spray tacked on to the wood, this was obviously more time consuming, but that is not a commodity that I am short on these days, and there is the added satisfaction of almost a complete build. The 6mm for F4 & F5 was accomplished by cutting these out twice from 3mm ply and joining. Wash out was `left out`, because there is the option to do that on the plans, and I wasn`t sure of my abilities to get that right!
I have yet to send for the canopy and wheel spats, but that is imminent. I would like to make the canopy removable, but as the wing support rods appear to go through the upper part of this, then I am unsure how best to accomplish this, or make out of balsa in separate sections to enable access to the parts of the fuselage that I require (if that makes sense?)
