Default RE: Building the 7th Chadwick

I thought the wing was done. The nacelle tops need to be secured. One flap servo had to be reversed. Then the control horn was in the wrong position. I made a "Z" bend in the control rod, it works fine but looks like I goofed. (I did) It will have to be corrected. I will require the addition of a hardwood block in the foam aileron for mounting the horn.

I purchased some water based black spray paint to use on some of the raw interior balsa that might be exposed from time to time. I have found that it is terrible stuff. Runs under masking tape, it also releases masking tape, and it is impossible on canopies. I have also found that painting a mask is much easier said than done. Thats another thread:

I masked and painted the main canopy. I cleaned and masked the observation canopy that I painted with the water based spray paint. Alcohol did the trick. I will paint the main canopy tomorrow with rustolium.

I could not wait, I painted the nose 13th Bomb Squadron Red!
