Fuse (cont)
Tail gear doors/hatch (cont)
I used some of Brian's (dynamic balsa's cockpit kits) clear tracing plastic to outline the doors and hatch and, easily transfer the pattern to the CF doors/hatch. Used a backless razor saw blade to remove the doors/hatch.
Belly pan removed.
Wings (cont)
Darrell called, this morning, and said that is the gear that is suppose to be in Nick's P-47. If the air cylinder was smaller, it would fit easier but he said the large cylinder is needed to power past the shrink bar. I'm guessing that I'll have to sister some wood along the bottom of the ribs, before sheeting, to cover parts of the gear. If I was just now cutting all the ribs, I'd make the bottoms an extra 1/8" thicker.
ps: he said he's going to try to make Fond Du Lac.
Left wing being glued up.
Same stuff applied to left side, moving W-5/6 inward and making sure the W-2 rib is perfectly perpendicular.
