RE: Blue Angel - Build
My plans and templates left in the Fedex truck on their way to Dan for the foam wing and stab construction. I’m very grateful that Dan decided he would use his time to build the templates and cut the foam for me. I’m anxious to see the wing cores because Dan is known for excellent work.
I ordered the Spring Air retracts today. I’ll be using the tri gear set #202 that have 5/32” struts and the nose gear that flat mounts on a cross member behind the firewall. The folks at Spring Air are wonderful to deal with and are a bright spot in our hobby.
I’ve been spending time looking over the plans and started my wood and hardware parts list. I group my list by aircraft area, wing, stab, fuselage, etc. to make sure I do not miss anything. Most of the metric sizes cross over to inches, e.g. 2mm = 1/16” for wing sheeting. The fuselage construction is pretty complex but once I get started I’m sure it will look awesome!
