RE: Hangar-9 Sopwith Camel Build Thread
Been working on 'noopy when I feel like it, but things have changed- I've got the props and the Castle esc, and the motor and packs are on the way from HK, so I gotta get cracking, as I want it to fly at my Midland club's electric fly less than a month from now.
The new tail section is finished and RTC. As the stab saddle was intended for a symmetrical airfoil, I had to come up with a flat surface for the new Clark Y stab to mount on. I also wanted to make it removable, so I can put shims under it if required for the final trim. Solved both problems by "pouring" a new stab saddle out of a 50/50 mixture of epoxy and milled fiberglass. This not only resulted in a nice saddle, but I drilled and tapped it for four, 4-40 screws to hold it in place.
The elevators will be hinged with covering, right now they're stuck on with tape.
