Default RE: A4 Skyhawk build


Hi Peter, no problem... I'll have a look.

I like the cockpit to be easily removable without any screws or fixings other than an engineered fit. The benefit being I'm able to quickly take the cockpit out at the field to get to valves and switches etc... which will be necessary with this model as access space is very limited. I spent some time accurately trimming the tub to shape. I've also cut loads of material off the inside frame work on the fuz to make it look a little more believable. The cockpit now slides in and is held in place by a cross brace and two ply tabs at the back, once the canopy is on its held in place.
