The first step is to cut the windshiled post to allow for complete assembled mechs
to simply slide into the body Without disassembly of any systems.Boom and all
can slid right on in! A super plus....Cut on area at a time or all at once , either way
works fine...
...
The tabs are numbered and glued into place after the area underneath has been roughed
up with 100 grit paper. I use stabilit express to glue in these small tabs, it's easy to mix
in small quanities and has excellent strength! Glue only inboard sides! The outer areas
get screwed in.
...
The finished tabs... show here screwed into place... follow instructions carefully.
...
The
next step is the main retracts... they get glued in, not bolted! As stated
in the book,
they need to be locktited and re assembled and if a hard landing happens,
the wire struts
can be easily replaced, if you damage the units, 99% chance you have come
down hard
enough
to break the wings off the fuse... in that case... well you know the rest...
they aint built to crash, rather to fly. The wheels are hard and hollow to
avoid bouncing and
flat
spots, also easier taxiing and lighter too!
The wood parts are few... excellent quality real plywood. I assemble them
with a square and tack them c/a glue, they will then be pigmented whatever
colour I chose, then epoxied for a fuel proof finish!
You can see various types of Techniques here.
stay tuned.... more to come.
