Default RE: 1/4 scale F9F Panther build

I talked to Vladimir, He said the Polish Panther is a little smaller than ours.............. The boys had more discussion on the canopy shape. Then Hal went at it with a sanding block with his own ideas. I got both wings to plug in on my fuse. I also shaped my foam nose. This will be a good place to get rid of extra resin from time to time. I will just have some extra cloth cut and ready to go on the nose. I cut the elevators off the hoz. stab and installed a servo tray for the elevators. the tray is about 2.5"x6".I picked out all the foam in this area all the way down to the top sheeting and then made some legs for the tray(like a table) then glued it in and back filled it with some balsa. I will put one servo on each side. putting them here moves them 3" closer to the control surfaces than where the plans would show in the fuse. John A. started closing in and mounting his vert. stab. after that is done him and Dennis will finish sheeting the back end of Johns fuse. John had everything on the back and was holding up his rudder. so they are passing me up on the tail of the plane.............as John would say "hurrry Joe, hurry hurry!"
