  3. Hi Colin. The spanish version has a longer nose so you can put the motor you have and adapt the cowl. Jos? Luis Edited By Jose L. G. on 18/11/2018 09:43:55
  4. Very Little progress. Have to repair a pair of models. After checking the plan, tapered the side stringers of the fuse from F9 to F11 and glued the side panels of the tail. After the glue have dried I prepared a pair of balsa infills for the elevator cables. Tomorrow I`ll drill a pair of holes for the tubes. Tha balsa pieces are recessed a bit so not Will show in the covering. Also began working in the instrument panel (Thanks Tony). The last work for today is fix the captive nuts for the motor. This are 4 mm. The center part of the nut is longer than the thickmess of the firewall so I used various washers of 6 mm to manage the seating of the nuts.
  5. Hi Colin. Nice aproach to the landing gear. I`ve bought a few oleos, probably overkill. Also to mount the oleos I need a secondary bulkhead. We´ll see if I continue with that or simplify. Cheers. José Luis
  6. Worked a bit on the tailwheel. Stitched the tube with kevlar thread and CA. Centred the ply/tube part on F11, glued with epoxi and added some triangle stock. Wille the glue dried sanded the sheet over F5 and cut the cockpit opening. Today made the hole for the tailwheel arm in the bottom sheet. and mounted for checking the operation and position. For the bearing of the carbon tube and brass tube used a pair of the rings that are used in the props as centering/adjusting the hole. Now working in the instrument panel. Thanks Tony.

  7. Today finished re-sheeting of the cockpit área. I used the same technich as previously. i.e glued the sheet in the bottom line and to the remaining sheet, After drying bent over the formers and fixed in place. While the glue was drying I worked on the tailwheel. Prepared the ply support and glued a brass tube that Will be the bearing for the Wheel. Later tied with kevlar thread and fixed with glue. Prepared some sheet and finished the top sheeting. Cheers. José Luis
  8. Hi Danny. I like a lot your aproach to the front-end of the model. I`ll do it in the spanish versión so I can change the shape of the cowl as needed. Cheers José Luis
