Strips of balsa are fitted to make a base for the hinge to fit



These are then rounded as the hinge will be in the centre

Wingtip is now fabricated



Trailing Edge glued in

Fabrication of Servo Tray

Hinge Points fitted, will be glued in after covering; a dab of Vaseline must be put on the hinge. CA glue to be avoided as it makes the plastic brittle

Trial fit of wings - that's  one biggg model 

Lovely as usual.

Don't want to shoot down your retirement benefits

Cut the cowl and fitted it

The upper and lower wing halves are slid into carbon fibre tubes of 6 mm & 10 mm. These are supposed to be held in place by the rigging and interplane struts

I'm not entirely comfortable with just the rigging. So I epoxied hardwood tabs and screwed in hooks, to pull the 2 wing halves together with rubber bands at the wing bottom

Upper wing



Lower wing

Test fit
