RE: Old JHH F-4 airframe conversion
well, had some progress today -
cut the front cover with the canopy and fabricated a frame for it,
working on the inside of the fuselage, every former needs to be done separately, as i don't have any information nor drawing for it,
so i just used a piece of cardboard and hacked it away until i got the proper shape, then cut the formers accordingly.
i have two 1.2liter fuel tanks that i want to use, unfortunately the space inside the fuselage is rather restricted and the only place i can locate them is behind the front tray, between the inlets, although it will affect the CoG, hope it won't be too much.
planing on mounting the fuel tanks in a way that the turbine's starter will seat between them, any thoughts about that? any input about the minimum distance between the front of the turbine (compressor) and an external object?
still looking for any input about the pipe...
Ravivos.
