RE: SIMLA BUILD THREAD
HiDuane, I thought that you were out of town this weekend due to the sudden silence on the thread. Nice to have you back! I am currently awaiting the arrival of part F7 from Jeff so I switched my attention to the tail feathers. Built the fin frame this morning. Pretty straight forward stuff, but it did help me to mark center lines on the inside and outside of the fin leading and trailing edges as well as the ribs. Line up the center lines and fast CA gave me a frame in justtwenty minutes. Then it was on to the stab/elevator build. I originally set it up with a1/4 inch steel rod to align the ribs and then switched to a .254 inch carbon fibertube which I CA'd in. Cool stuff this carbon fiber.This is the first time that I have used any. Very impressive stuff; super light and super strong. Also, a suggestion on the Simla meet with different size power plants might be different classes with different manuvers depending on egine size?
