Online-support build-up. Page 7 Doors
..
I added a recess to hold two switches(one shown now) and RCA jack for glo-plug. Removable plug helps
quick removal of mechs if need be.
...
The doors
are prepped using 2mm steel wire and flex snake cable inner and outer.
A brass ball is soldered to
the snake inner to act as a pull. The outer needs
to sanded to stick to fuse bottom and side to hold it in shape so
the cable works correctly. I added the wood strip
at bottom so it would pull evenly on the door edge.
Here
is the loop, waiting to be glassed in with CA and cloth.
Make sure you drill offset holes so the cables
can pass eash other!
...
One
motion opens and closes door. I chose not to make real sliders as
they are a pain to make and only rattle
in flight.
...
Here
you can see just how easy it is to reach all the mechs without removal!
Here is the finished paint, I use
PPG two part uretane and a brush right over the
bare wood. One step, fuel proof and looks great!
...
This is a
statin finish paint , I also added the gyro tray since the rear tray has
to come off to accomodate bracket.
Tail cap fitted with vent /arm hole as per fullisze.
I use 2 inch pcv pipe sparyed with metalizer
and then buffed. Later I will add the jet
exhaust soot.
More to come, near completion!
