Default RE: 1/3 Vickers F.B.19 MKII

Well I hated to miss Rhinebeck but I am glad I didn't burn my days off. Next year will be a different story I hope. I am working on the struts and have decided to use Dubro rod ends to attach the struts to the wings. I'll drill through the spars and hard wood blocks and screw the rod ends on. The struts will be bolted to the rod ends. Tricky part will be drilling the holes on the right angle through the spars but I think I know how to do that. I have modified the Mick Reeves stainless strut fittings and epoxied them into the BUSA struts. The flying and landing wire fittings will be bolted to the wings.
