RE: Cloud Bound 4
Yes, the fuselage is all wood with probably over 100 parts!!!!
The pre-bent aluminum plates are for the V-Tail.
I am thinking of using flaperons. One servo in each wing. Maybe spoilers too?
The advertised wing loading is 9oz/sq. foot.
I was disappointed no supplement instructions for Rays modifications was included with my kit. Later I discovered there is a 3 page parts list with information on Ray's modifications included with CB4 kits. This was missing from my kit and Ray emailed me a copy.
Now that I have studied the plans and instructions I am realizing this may be a difficult kit to build. This is not your typical kit with step by step photo illustrated instructions. All things considered, I should have this kit finished in a couple weeks! Ha ha, maybe a couple months!
Sounds like southern California weather is similar to central Texas.
You have a very nice workshop/garage and big. I have a single car garage and use one corner for building models. Most of the space is reserved for my nicest car.
Think I will try ceiling tiles for this project. I will go look for them later today.
