Hello everyone,
Well after a 6month hiatus to finish up my motorcycle and a Goldberg Chipmunk I've been hard at work on the P-38.
I have since joined the South County RI club and have been flying there. Thats more than I can say in the last 8 years since I've moved to Rhode Island!
Since I took these photos yesterday i have glassed the booms. I've heard that they are weak when build in wood so I used a foot long section of carbon fiber cloth just behind the wing and 1/2 oz cloth in front and behind. Its hard to explain so I'll get some pictures of that tomorrow.
I still have to finish up the flaps, all linkages and install throttle servos, and glass some misc parts.
I'm planning to test fly it before I prime anything else. Flying season will come to a close soon and I have to know if it will fly before I invest any more time, money, or energy into it.
Thank you for looking.
Kyle
