Default RE: 1/4 Scale Pfalz DrI

Seems like a long time since I posted. The WB wheel designs are done, and one (out of two) bathroom has been renovated. Finally back to the DrI!!!

So here are a few pictures from rigging the wings, building the struts, painting and attaching the LG. It's starting to look like an airplane!

I hope I have the assembly sequence right. To put this together you need to slide the middle wing into place and insert a nylon bolt through the lower wing opening to secure the middle wing. Then install the lower wing with nylon bolts and secure the back LG struts. Then drop the interplane struts through the middle wing, and secure them with bolts to both the lower and middle wing. Then put the top wing on and slide it forward. Install the locks behind the cabane struts under the wing, and bolt both the interplane struts. Hope that wont take too long at the field.
