It’s also come out at 24oz inc battery which I am not pleased about.

Thanks Martin. Love your crisp lines. Just had to do major surgery on it as found when putting the battery well up front to get the c of g that I had loads of trouble getting it out so cut a hatch underneath which was a pain but sorted battery probs out.

And the gnat

Thanks Martin , your guide did the trick. This is my attempt.

Alan thanks for the info regarding the supply of solarfilm Dave

Philip could you let me know what web site you went on to get your solarfilm, cheers. regards Dave

Gary Have you managed to start your TN hunter yet? Dave

Tim Thanks for that Tim. I will give it a go but I don’t think I will try the hot air gun! Dave

Tim i was having a close look at your fantastic Gnat and wondered if you use the covering on the canopy as it seems to be seamless from the wood to canopy. If you do would you mind letting me know how you do it without melting the canopy as I would love to be able to achieve that finish. Dave

Hi Steve Thanks for that reply. Another item you may be able to help me with is the wing fairings. In the text and on the plan it says to make them out of 1.6mm balsa and then add 3mm lite ply to the leading edge. I am confused about this. Should the fairings be made from 3mm balsa you match the kite ply leading edge or made from two laminations of 1.6mm balsa? Help regards Dave

Hi Guys as you can see from above pic I have started on the Hunter. The fuz, tail plane and wing are all done. A little mod I did to the wing was to cut out a resess into the leading edge of the wing in the centre. The reason was I found it a bit difficult to remove the battery. This mod has overcome that problem. Comments please. Dave

Gary a pic speaks a thousand words I think dave
