Andrew, being too flat in your locale is no excuse! 😄 The PSSA have a member that drives from Belgium to North Wales. This year we had another member from the USA join us for one event. It is definately worth a visit when the wind is blowing. It is also addictive.

Toto, I beefed up door security with two U-bolts through the door frames ans a steel bar across the outside of the doors. This was put through the U-bolts and padlocked at either end. It also stopped the handle from being turned. All in all a good visual deterrent to a casual thief. Martin.

Phil, The holes in the lower skin will be between the two ply half ribs highlighted in red below! Martin.

I recommend fitting the drop tank(s) mechanism. You don't have to use it, but it is there should you decide to fit them. On the photos that I have seen the drop tanks are on the inner part of the wings and the outers carry the missiles. However, I have only seen one photo of this configuration, so you may not need the outer mechanism if your chosen scheme only had drop tanks.

Very tidy work!

Toto, This could allow you to double up on the thickness of the worktops!
-
If you are adding drop tanks, now is the time to consider the linkages. The twin riblets are where the drop tanks would be fitted.

R1 adjusted on the wing plan and the cut files, at least it was too long and not too short! Many thanks.

It's going together nicely Phil. Have you seen the canopy buck yet?

Get well soon, Phil.

Looking at the work you are doing, Chris, it won't be long before your Dak is in the air again. I am hoping for another "maiden flight" at the next PSSA meeting in 24 days.

I do like the DC3. This is my own design 1/32nd sized version on it's short maiden flight. Unfortunately, it suffered from an almost terminal tip stall shortly after this photo was taken. A new wing is being constructed with more washout. Hopefully that will reduce, if not cure, the tip stall problem.
