Looks like a big canope !! You're going to need a very big frame-box and a big heater ! -

@ Danny fenton In this case , i simply made a new part in the mould of the canope frame twice as thick. Usually i make a plug out of pink foam , covered with 500gr glass to get a smooth finish. -

Hello all ! I'm new in this section , but not new on the forum, In 2017 i started a topic in the EDFsection , a scratch build compositie fouga 1/4.5. Sinds the end of summer she did 5 fligts and i'm busy now adding all the scale details wich , i think , will be more in place here in the ''scale matters'' section . I'm only trying to reach visitors interested in scale items who never visit the EDF section. If not allowed , sorry , Dirk I added a video of the speed brakes , Just one of the many scale items.Much more in the EDF section ! 20231220_224415.mp4

Thanks Phil ! The more you do , the more you can i guess . Last weeks i learned a lot more... The brakes are coming along pretty well but it's a lot of trial and error. There is so little room to fit it all. One wing is ready exept for the covers. I'm copying everything now for the other wing. I promissed myself they'd be ready in 2023 so i can start the painting process . MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !! -

Hello all ! The speed brakes are going to take some time i'm afraid... I made the servo support from alu T profile .It took a lot of fitting before i was happy with it ! It will be screwed on the hard wood support but the screws (M2 )will go into the little back-up plate under the wood for better grip . The little pin on the end goes into a wing rib. The gap on the right is to let the servo wire trough. I love this kind of Jobs! The brakes are next ! -
