daveyboy Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hello, Apologies again for a delay, but families and work take up a fair bit of time. So moving on all areas sheeted and canopy and deck fitted ( needs securing) if you take on this project be sure you like sheeting or know somebody who does.Roughly sanded and all leading/trailing edges shaped.

daveyboy Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 Those with a sharp eye there is a gap between the canopy and fuz but when secured that will not be there.All in all a great short kit and after 30yrs of modelling i would say probably the best laser /router cutting on the market. However the canopy and especially cowl let it down a little. The cowl i have spent 4-hrs flatting back and filling and spraying and flatting back to achieve a reasonable result. The canopy is good quality but far from perfect.Be ok in the sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engine Doctor Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Nice model and build. I know what your saying about the cowling. I have a Falcon Aviation EuroBat that's a few years old now. Great flyer and a good artf kit apart from the cowling . That was utter rubbish and went straight in the bin. It had 2 to 3 mm thick gel coat in places that was as brittle as glass ,totally out of shape and cracked . I never did cowl it and have the engine sitting in the breeze. Good luck with rest of the build. Edited By Engine Doctor on 05/09/2016 14:08:33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredrum Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hi Daveyboy. Just read your entire blog. Fantastic work. Very neat. I adore the Fournier and will build one myself one day. There's a scheme here that might suit. Any updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
