Default RE: Marutaka/ Royal Zero 62

I've had a week off work, and the weather has not been good, so I thought it was time to go back to this build!

The first job was to do everything inside the wings that I won't be able to do when they are sheeted. I spent a whole day just fiddling around, sorting out the aileron frames, fitting the retracts and joining the wings together.

There is a video update on that here:

Having got that far, I realised that it was still not time to sheet the bottom of the wing! I decided that I needed to get the wing to sit nicely on the fuselage so that I can drill the wing locating pins with the wing in position.





...So I've spent an hour or so sanding the bottom of the wing fairings so that the wing sits nicely on the supporting framework. I used the pice of wood that glues on to the front of the wing as a template in order to indicate how much material needed to be sanded away.





These kits are real Balsa basher's kits aren't they?!

I think I am nearly at the point where I can drill the locating pins and then sheet the bottom of the wing.
