Jose L. G. Posted June 30, 2018 Author Share Posted June 30, 2018 Well This will be my projected Fury for the Master Class. In the back ground I`m going to build a second model of the Spanish Fury. Cheers. José Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose L. G. Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Hi there Friends. Yesterday I re-read the plans and the scale documentation I have on the subject. Noting a few subtle diferences betwen the MK I and the Spanish Fury that I have not seen ( the cowl is longer, deeper in the nose, different panel lines, exhaust position, lowres, …. So I also begin the construction with the tail. I`m using Wood glue so until tomorrow it Will stay pinned in the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose L. G. Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 Tomorrow I`ll cut the hole for the screw, hinges, horn before gluig the ribs on the other side. José Luis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Fenton Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Great stuff José, glad to see others are diving in It is easier to cut the cores before you add the doublers but not matter, the end result is the same. We could use Robart pin hinges but they wont be quite as straightforward. With hine sight perhaps some glass hinges would have been nice to do. I had thought this two years ago, but then when I drew up the glass parts it must have slipped my mind Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Holá José, I'm still far away from starting my build thread, but I just subscribed to yours. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose L. G. Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 This morning I have cut the hole for the rigging wire on the fin. Marked the position of the ribs an repeated the process of gluing ribs in the other side. Drying until next day. I didn`t make the cut-outs for the hinges because I have decided on using robart hinges (Not originals these are from Great Planes), whwn profiled I`ll glue the reinforcing blocks before drilling their position.

Jose L. G. Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 Stab and elevators marked over the plan an the other side marked with setsquare (3D printed….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose L. G. Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 Back to building after a few days of relax. Cut the longuerons from a shest of balsa with the balsa-stripper (Great Planes ítem). Mainly framed the leading Edge, tips and some ribs for delimiting the parts. Later added the red of the ribs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose L. G. Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 When checking the plan and the 3 views I noted that there is a missing sub-rib near the tips, so I marked the cores to remember it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose L. G. Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 Top of the stab and elevators finished. This afternoom I`ll make the other. Cheers. Jose Luis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose L. G. Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 I`m going to use pull-pull for the tail parts. As the original both elevators Will be linked with a tube (carbon in my case). Jose Luis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2W Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Jose, correct me if I'm wrong, but the carbon tube would be very short and limited in length by the hinge positions closest to the fuselage? William Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose L. G. Posted October 8, 2018 Author Share Posted October 8, 2018 Hi William, You are correct about the length of the tube. Once epoxy glued in their groove I`ll aply a fine fiberglass bandage over it and the balsa. This increase the gluing force of the part. Cheers.

Jose L. G. Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Well. I´ve been working of the fuse the past days. Now I have both sides made: Once dry the first I leave enought pins for placing the second over it. Put some wax paper over the cross over of the sticks and fixed with pins the front part of the fuse and built the second stick part. Before beginning the building I weighted the sticks of balsa, betwen 2.6 to 4.9 grams, Selected those abot 3.2 grams, (this weight is because there were a few around this weight). Tomorrow I´ll go to fly, so probably Little building in the class….. First side drying. Second side (Left) built over the right side.

Jose L. G. Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 I forgot, The cross over sticks are from the sheet that is made the front part of the fuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Fenton Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Great progress José Luis There is quite a lot of scrap wood that can be stripped and re-used isn't there? Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Fane Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Nice building Jose, thanks for the extra riblet tip cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose L. G. Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Thanks guys. Some progress…...Prepared the ply parts for the fuse. Trial fited both formers and ply sides. Marked the sub-formers positions on both sides noting the diference betwen the left and right. Once satisfied glued the formers and ply reinforcements on the right side. I usually mark the sides and put back to back to avoid doublé side síndrome. Taking note of the advise of Danny I had made anew F1, 50 grams less tan the ply one. Some pics…. This is the former F3 included in the kit. This is OK for the Mk1 model but Will be changed for the Spanish Fury. That big hole in the middle must go because I´m going to fix the landing gear to this as a cantiléver one. Next pic. Checking the parts over the side panels.The position of the side formers has been marked inside and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
