RE: ThunderTiger Rare Bear
OKAY HERES SOME PICS. I;ll upload and then edit in some text.
The first one is the canopy installed.
2: front pins. The pins are simply music rod glued into 3/8 stock. Its then epolied to the canopy. The pins can be bent for fit. The holes the pins go into are elongated at the center of the fuse, and the rear, because the front pins go in first and the rear is lowered into position.. I added cut fiberglass to all epoxy.
3: is entire canopy pins and latch catch, no.it aint beatiful.
4:the latch itsself inside, attached to turtledeck with glass reenforced epoxy.Simple ink-pen sping design.
5: the latch as seen from outside the plane...... without the canopy.
6:wing tube mod. had to raise the hole and scab ply on the bottom....Gawd...what junk. Also note the hole for the 1/4 -20 bolt that holds the wing halves on.
7:I sealed the control surfaces to reduce the chance of flutter.
I do that to all my planes.
8: pushrods... oops wrong ones....next pic, 9: is rudder pushrods. In this pic you see a blue thing at the top right........thats a feather micro servo that will work the gear doors. One per side. I built the doors and worked out the mecanics, but I aint painting and installing til I see if it flies right.
Hope that helps.
Does anyone know what the hook like protrusions fron the center bulkhead are for? I have no Idea, and thought maybe it was upside down but its as per manual....???????
