John, this dummy pilot looks fantastic. I see that VQ warbirds have some new pilots. http://www.vqwarbirds.com/index.php?...24f5a1a9938bd5
I think, that I saw this pilot on this websites.

Probably it could be the same producer.
I´ve just looked at the Fliteskin plan and I can´t see position of any former. But here is a citation from the website:
I think that ribs are the parts of the wing and formers belong to the fuse, am I right?

- Laser cut wood kit, includes all ribs, formers, firewall and canopy frame: US$145.00

Prekin,
I believe there are a few formers in the laser cut wood kit to help align the composite fuse, to serve as cockpit frame, instrument panel, etc

Hello guys,
I´ve just received answer from Jose. Is it as you wrote. Fliteskin wood kit for Bf-109 includes ribs for wing and only four formers, because it for composite fuse. There is no wood kit for the all fuselage. I´ll must find some other wood kit or enlarge the Brian Taylor´s plan Bf-109, which I have in PDF. There is also Meister scale, but this one is bigger than scale 1/5.

Thanks. Could I aske why did you change the colours in badge under the canopy and the flight way of stork on the cowl?
Otto Smik was B flight commander of Czechoslovak SQN no. 312. The round badge is something as national flag! There are a lot of materials where you can find the right colours and other details!
I´ve aleready added some shots from my air base. In pictures is Spitfire from SQN 310, but the national colours are same. Look at it.

L.E. on stab is glued and sanded. Now is the sheeting of stabilizer particulary done as you can see. Also the mount for stab which si made from four blocks of balsa is almost done. I´m little bit scared of the connection the fuse and stab. The surface between these part is small and there is no way how to lock the stabilizer with fuselage. Last season during one flight I lost a stabilizer from my Diablotin. I hope that I won´t have this experience with my Spitfire. In the last shot you can see the leading tubes for elevator control lines.

The elevator servo will be behind the cockpit, so I´ve already made a mounting. Access to this servo will be through the door in the tail. Fuel tank will be in C.G., so it is possible to have a scale filling place in front of the canopy on the nose. I prepared a mount for the fuel filling valve.

Hi brothers, you was able to see the dummy exhausts which are 1/5 scale. As you know these exausts are too big for BT 83" Spitfire. I´ve already made pretty scale dummy exhaust. It means exactly for this Brian Taylor Spitfire (1/5.333). Now they are smaller and the hole in the back of the exhaust tube is deeper.
