P Smith 1 Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 (edited) Hi I have ordered 2 lots of 10 mm carbon fiber spars for the front of the wing which will run along the main spar, and 6mm carbon rods for the rear, instead of ply ones ,think it may help with the weight, as im going to use 4 standard servos for ailerons and flaps any ideas ?

P Smith 1 Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 (edited) yes indeed im using alot of ideas i learnt with the building of the big 12 foot ziroli dakota, many years ago now, so this one will be a slight size drop one. a mini ziroli if you will lol😁 Edited April 29 by P Smith 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P Smith 1 Posted Friday at 21:25 Author Share Posted Friday at 21:25 (edited) been racking my brains today as could really see on the plan, where the keel of the aircraft fuz front went into the center wing section. So i think i have this correct, as far as i can see, the front keel goes directly into the block. heres the build as far as that is concerned, i have used an old top flight method of bending the hard balsa stick to the plane by cutting slots in it the weting it! .Then of course holding it down with clamps till it dries. been one of those days where i nearly gave this build up.
