Evening all so a bit more work done this week. I have got the wings on and tubes glued in. Also got it all squared and in place now I can sheet the bottom and start to complete the building part of the project
Evening all
The sopworth baby was a really nice flying machine.. It is on the list of have to do again.. It's been really nice to hear all the story's again as the last the last few projects have been memory lane trips for my dad and I. I also grew up reading the old rcm mags with the artical about the schneider cup shoot outs that they use to have in the USA. Would love to attend/participate in one But once again it's rather dificalt to try and aganize sumthing like that in Sa.
Jhon The s6 wingspan is 2.4m and the macchi is a 2.3 wing span. So it's about 1/4.
Back to the build. My dad has been tasked with the wing tips. And I have been sorting the tail feathers over the last week. This week end should be sum good progress as I want to finalize the wing plug in so I can close up the bottom of the fuselage.
I really like the sea stormer, it was in line and almost started till I decided on the macchi. Just a quick update from tonight's work I have started the turtel deck and have roughly shaped the horizontal. It's finally starting to look like a macchi and not a balsa cigar!!!
