chris meek 1 Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 I sourced a 3d printed pilot roughly the right size off of Ebau once painted an obligatory ‘in the office’ photo was needed! Tbh I enjoyed the painting process and he’s not too shabby looking for a first effort. started on the wing centre section - seems ok apart from ribs 1 to 5 needed the rear spar slots either put in, or re positioned - not sure if there’s a fault in the file at the cutters but in all honesty it’s a minor issue that’s easily solved. Unfortunately I’m back at work for a few days so nothing more will be done until next week now.. hopefully get the top sheeting sorted on the centre section. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris meek 1 Posted Monday at 08:07 Author Share Posted Monday at 08:07 So it turns out that sheeting the centre section didn’t take as long as I expected! A couple of hours last night and top is sheeted, flaps made up and ready to finish off/hinge this morning. Then it’s on to the engine nacelles ready to fit.. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris meek 1 Posted Monday at 21:58 Author Share Posted Monday at 21:58 Spent the day fitting the flaps and making up the engine nacelle formers - total weight is now 3.4lbs, hopefully still on target for around 10lbs total weight… 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
