Hey Guys 'N' Gals And Merry Christmas!
It's been a while since part one of this article was posted and i have finally gotten back to building this beast (family issues Got in the way).
so without further adue, here we go:
so i picked up Where i left off and Fixed that wobbly nose gear mount (literally a small tug and it came out)
i replaced it with a new balsa mount that evenly spread the force into the Foam Super-structure surrounding it
as you an see its more than beefy enough for those brain-fart landings of which i make too many)
i then set about re-enforcing the Surrounding superstructre (the nose)
as well as hooking up the nose wheel Steering
then i replaced the flimsy upper section of the nose with some nice balsa and foam
also whilst i was Busy I Finished Sheeting the upper half of the Nose And Added An Air-stair!/Door
Door Fully- Closed
Door Fully open (Air- Stair Deployed)
Door half - Open (i call this one Peek-a-boo mode haha)
it serves the daul purpose of looking cool and being useful as an Acsess hatch
Then i set about Rebuilding The horizontal Stab, as the Previous one was to small for flight and not scale.
old Smaller stab on top, newer More Scale and Flight-Worthy Stab
Looks Much better and Scale too!
Next i Set about hinging and installing the Rudder
i think im gonna stick to this method of hinging, it's so smooth and clean :P
finally i Freed up the Elevators and skinned the very end of the tail
Tail Skinning
also Freed the spring mechanism on the nose landing leg (should help absorb the shocks of landing)
Spring in action
Little overview
More updates to come Soon
