Since I remember myself my favourite warbird was the Me-109. Unfortunately, it is hard to come by a good "30cc" size ARF of this aeroplane which was what I was looking for. So, Ihave decided to build one myself.
I will be upfront with the fact that Ihave no intention to build a master scale reproduction. Ido not have the skill or the time for that. Instead, Iwill build this Fliteskin "kit" to "sport scale" standard where Iwill use scale details when they are easy to obtain or make. This "kit" is of very high quality and can easily be built into a competition grade scale project. You can see example of what can be done in Casey's build
on this thread and Jose's build on
this thread
Unfortunately, Ihave decided to take detailed photos after the commencement of the project, and therefore the actual build of the horizontal stabiliser, elevators and rudder is partly done when the detailed photos start. I was also extremely slow in my build due to very restricted time, so, Ihave waited until I made some substantial progress before submitting the photos here.
Ihope you will enjoy the very detailed photos which I hope will clarify some sections of the build which is not very detailed in the instructions and photos on Jose's original build thread in RCSB.
Also Ido have some scratch build experience, my previous project was some 20 years ago and was a 0.70 4 stroke bipe, nothing like the complexity of this project. Ido understand that this "kit" was not intended for such low experience builder like myself, but, Ilike the challenge.
One last note before I continue, English is not my first language, so Iapologise in advance for grammar and spelling mistakes.
