Tony Bennett Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 I think i will be dropping out as i cannot understand the plan well enough to build correctly. i shall watch all you others progress with your builds with envy.

Danny Fenton Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hi Tony, just hang in there. Andy is in the process of doing the lower wing and centre section, hopefully that will make it clearer. I am not up to that point yet. Everybody seems to be in such a hurry! Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Danny 's right, Tony. Just be a bit patient and wait for him to approach those difficult steps and propose a solution to all of us. That's why he's The Teacher, by the way. And indeed, some members seem to like 'having a race' out there. Not sure if that's a real fantastic idea though. Hang on, young man.

Jose L. G. Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hey Tony. Be patien my friend. Always learning something new at each stage. Only is your main material is depron you can change your optics using balsa. Come on. Stay tunned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 given up struggling with the plan and am now winging it with the build. lower wing started. wing tips and sheer webbing and hundreds of cap strips and leading edge still to do. plus i need to sand it to fit into the opening better. still it is some progress.

Tony Bennett Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 one complete codkpit set 3D printed. Still working on the lower wing panels. gave up trying to fully understand the plan and just "winged it". adding the wingtip balsa now. yes there is some Depron in the wing and there will be some more yet as well. well it is half the weight of the balsa parts and as they say "every little helps" Tony B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Great you got back into the groove, Tony. Superb cockpit bits as well; makes me a bit envious, I must say. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Parker Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Hi Tony, Glad to see that you've got your mojo back, and what progress you have made. Keep up the excellent work. Regards Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 well i am now adding some Depron sheer webs to the wing spars. started sanding the leading adge and wing tips to shape. then comes the fun job of adding the rigging brackets and all of the cap strips. but that will be another day.

Danny Fenton Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Looks great Tony, is the depron giving enough rigidity? Stupid question I guess as you wouldn't use it if it wasn't! Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn K Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Tony, I would put the wingtip cap ribs on before you get too carried away with the sanding. Would be interested to see whether you get a good fit - especially on the outer two ribs. Coming along very quickly..

Tony Bennett Posted November 7, 2018 Author Share Posted November 7, 2018 upper cap strips on the lower wing done, need to do the underside tomorrow, Made a start on the upper wing centre section as well. as my wing is going to be in three parts i will need to look at wing joiners next. thank you for watching Tony B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted November 9, 2018 Author Share Posted November 9, 2018 still sticking cap strips on to the lower wing. arghhhhhhhhhh still i have made a start on the first of the upper wing panels, so we are slowly making progress.

Tony Bennett Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 First upper panel off the board. i am struggling to understand the section round the aileron though. made a start on the second panel. building it backwards on the plan so i get a left and right hand wing... i hope Tony B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
