Final items in progress


I attached all the Freewing eye candy on the wings. I plan to fly it with all the stuff most of the time.


Seems to be a mix load out with mostly air to air weapons but the blue LGBs look too cool to leave off.


Almost all the stuff is behind the CG so I'll have to compensate in the nose a little more. I plan to start with the CG at 30mm behind the wing marks with landing fuel based on info I've read in other forums. That will make the T.O. CG slightly forward of 30mm. The main tank has a "sight gage" on the front wall behind the nose wheel where you should be able to see the fuel level remaining in the tank. That's why I didn't paint the front wall.


Final shape of he ECM pod under the rudder to clear the pipe. It was coated with BVM Heat Shield and painted before being glued on.


Ribbon cables covered in turbine bay. Balsa side covers and strips of BVM Heat Blanket over the side and top slots.


Balsa side shields coated with BVM Heat Shield.
