Default Masochistic Designer???




Didn't get a chance for any building yesterday & don't really feel up to it today. However, I sat at the building board with the intention of cleaning the decks & a general tidy. But, the tailplane & elevators were sat awaiting finishing so I progressed a bit further by clamping the elevators to the tailplane & glueing the tip ribs into place & a little shaping. Then I re-read the next stage in the manual & cursed the designer for the protracted method of construction. The next stage involves constructing 24 elevator ribs of different sizes, then adding cap strips to them. No wonder people are moving to ARTF's or RTF's, you really have to be dedicated to build this so called kit. Rant over, a couple of pictures follow, might leave the elevator ribs until tomorrow..
