RE: Cloud Bound 4
Hi Everyone,
I have been busy with other stuff and haven't completed much on my Cloud Bound 4. I am also somewhat confused what to do about the CB4 tail construction and mounting.
I built one stabilizer and seems very weak. I can twist it very easy. I built with two spars and not one like on the plan. I also added some extra balsa sheeting however still seems not stiff enough. This stabilizer is made from a sandwich of three 1/16" thick strips. When finished is 3/16" think. This looks to thin for such a big model and I think has too much flex. When covered with Monkote might be strong enough?
I am thinking about building new elevators 1/4" thick.
My kit came with three very small nylon bolts for mounting the v-tail. I think they are to small and plan to use two larger nylon bolts.
My kit did not include a 1/4' ply tail mount like shown on the plan. I cut a new one matching the plan.
Cloudbound, Mike
