Hi guys! Progress has slowed because I'm waiting on the stab mechanism and associated parts.
I've worked out my flap linkage and am almost done with my plug for a canopy mold. I've seen the available canopies and although they look OK and do the job my requirements would take it just a bit further. I will make a fiberglass mold and then cut the frame out, finally adding a vacuum formed clear part.
Still some sanding to do, but I'm pleased with the overall look, this plane is sport scale after all.
Here is what I came up with for the flap. Flaps are not a big concern for this project, it lands so slow as it is, will probably use a few degrees for takeoff though.
Damo, I would not use flight skin to sheet this project. This plane was designed for 1/8" sheeting, you would then have thinner sheeting on the wings and thicker sheeting on the fuselage. It's great stuff for other details, I use it all the time, but never for sheeting.
