Hugh Coleman Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Great work Tony. I notice you are not fully sheeting the wings. Care to elaborate, or is there something in a previous post I missed? Hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 the second wing in from the left is mine and will be canvas covered like the first 500 hurricanes.all the rest are going to be fully sheeted as per T,N's design.

Hugh Coleman Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Well, It's a damned nice piece of work Tony. I do not envy you your task here (I have this model half built in my shed).

Terry Walters Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Holiday !!!! I thought you were a serious builder!! Looking forward to more instalments - I had withdrawal symptoms! Great build Tony Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 the holiday was not my choice.i suffer from agoraphobia so i was forced to go away to my daughters for a week.(they are trying to help me, bless them)otherwise i would never leave the house.the builds would get done quicker though. right back up stairs for some more balsa bashing.

Tony Bennett Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 i don't. i might manage once a month if i feel able too. so i build instead.one day i will be able to go out all the time and i will have my air force all built ready for flying.

Craig Ward Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I can understand that. When my first marriage went down the toilet I was a basket case and stayed home all the time, and mostly slept. I had to force myself to build, but thank God I had my hobby because that"s what kept me focused. I then found a real nice lady and that worked wonders. Hang in there.

Tony Bennett Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 i am surprised it fit first time. i was half expecting to have to do lots of trimming to get the wing in. oh well back to wing sheeting later today.got a steam union to sort for a traction engine first.
