RE: BVM F-86 (60
Hi,
Once I got the wings fitting nicely, I glued the formers in place while tape held the wings in position on the fuse. After that, I skipped ahead and started messing with the tail parts.
This is really well-designed! The parts that should be are made of 1/8" carbon plate. The stab spars are flat carbon plate, and are designed to make the stabs removable. The fin is also removable. My only complaint is that the lite-ply that all of these carbon parts mount to seems a little brittle, but I suppose once everything is hysoled in, it will be plenty strong.
Like the wings, the stabs are obechi-sheeted foam with live-hinging. Really nifty!
