  1. these are pics form an earlier time that I don't think I posted. Also at one stage in the distant past I opted to make the wing as one piece . first 2 pics are of the cowl made as described earlier but now covered in very thin ali sheet which will be painted and maybe distressed a little ,visible is the lipo access hatch that will be on top.
  2. Right I'm still fighting with nacelle 2 having forgotten how I did nacelle 1. the former plans don't match up but I decided to fit them then make adjustments after (butcher) it's getting there but it does not look pretty I can only hope judicious sanding and careful covering will hide the work 😞 anyway here are some pics to date
  3. just read through all this log am enjoying ,my wife said are you still reading the same thing 🙂
  4. less curry should help. The Mossie sounds exciting
  5. Oh dear another year has passed 😞 but at least I have finally put other distractions aside and am currently working on the other nacelle which is a real pig I had forgotten the formers do not work out correctly so I am modifying as I build not entirely happy with it however it will be strong enough and once sanded down hopefully will look ok. I will post a pic or 2 some time next week
  6. certainly produces an excellent result in Byron's hands I can well imagine it is difficult to work with at 30cm, one slip and it would be ruined
  7. that is gorgeous ,what is the covering ?
  8. love the detail Nick , by the way you can get really thin alli sheet that is easy to work with thinner than pop can
  9. no sadly , I hit a bit of a roadblock mojo went but am still going to complete thanks for asking
