![]() 5965 forum posts 2494 photos | Back home early hours this morning, in the shed tonight working on starboard upper wing. Leading edge detail and sheeting, wingtip details and begun spar webbing. Ho-hum! Keep on plodding. Edited By Colin Leighfield on 17/06/2019 23:09:32 |

2255 forum posts 1091 photos | Nice work Colin , just noticed there appear to be no holes for servo wires |
Colin Leighfield | 18/06/2019 15:24:10 |
![]() 5965 forum posts 2494 photos | Quite right Martian! I have a pair of HS125 servos ready, when I get to that stage I will find a suitable way to bodge the holes. If I plan too far ahead I tend to get it wrong anyway. |

![]() 5965 forum posts 2494 photos | A busy working today so didn’t get into the shed until after 09.00 pm. Finished off the spar webbing, cap strips tomorrow evening and whatever else I can do. |

![]() 5965 forum posts 2494 photos | I have decided to cover mine with nylon. Last time I used it was in the sixties, it was excellent so I am going to try it again. I have got sufficient Solartex but as Danny mentioned, I see really |

![]() 5965 forum posts 2494 photos | A couple more hours last night got most of the capping strips done, will finish tonight and then carefully set up the brass tubes for the wing joiners. After that I can start on the more interesting aileron detail. |

![]() 9289 forum posts 4116 photos | Well done Colin, a little a day and it will get done. I used nylon on a control line model recently, was like a trip down memory lane Cheers Danny |

![]() 5965 forum posts 2494 photos | Upper wing. Next step - fit the brass tubes to slide over the carbon fibre tube wing-joiners. It has to be spot-on, but as well as a convenient way of splitting the wing also adds adds a lot of strength in a good place. |
