RE: Don Smith B-24 build pics
Well I got tired of waiting for my brother in law and his digital camera. I went to walmart and found one on sale. So bear with me on thye pics till I get the thing figured out. I have some more pics of the rudder assembly showing the scale position of the control linkage. You can also see that I am making all control surfaces with scale hinging. The wires you see sticking out are my hinges. I also have the leading edges of my control surfaces shaped as the fullscale counterpart. It didn't really take much longer to do and looks alot better. I made my own torq rods to operate the elevators out of 5/32 music wire and aluminum tube. I have the wing spars layed out and ready to start gluing ribs down. I will keep trying to post pics with any new progress. I did figure out an estimated wing loading I did get scared when the calculator said 60 oz. per square foot.
