RE: Scratch Building 1/4-Scale Pitts Model-12
Got the gear done and decided to mount the tail stabs before covering. The filling in and around them is poorly thought-out and Ineed them mounted to carve the balsa fill correctly. Trying to think of a better way to do this in the next design. Luckily my color scheme calls for a flat-color base on the tail with decal-ish highlights so this should not pose much of an issue. Always a nail-biter for me, measure 10-times 30-min epoxy ONCE.
I like how the gear came out, its a bit springier than I'd prefer but I can fix that with a length of piano wire as a stiffener if Ineed to, we'll see when it's at its full-up weight.
