RE: Lanier Extra 300s 1/4 scale kit
Superworm,
Thank you for that. I am thinking that I might just skip those balsa bits for the hinge points, risk of my screwing it up and I am not sure if I need them as the stab TE is fairly thick by itself. After all I am trying to save weight and are chaseing a weight reduction down to a small percentage in each part.
Yeah, you are right about using less suction on the vaccum system not to distort the wings if laminating/sheeting with the balsa bits already attached before sheeting. Lets hope I will get access to this schools workshop. Otherwise I guess I will have to do it the traditional way.
UTC= Universal Time Cordinator, meaning Greenwich as a reference. The term UTC, or short for Z (Zulo), is what the aviation uses so they all fly on the same time.
Well I been doing some work on the enginebox sides.
These enginebox sides weight stock: 87 grams or 3,07 oz
Weight with lighening holes: 77 grams or 2,72 oz
------------------------------------------------------------------
Reduced weight: 10 grams or 0,35 oz (11%)
These are now installed and it is time for lunch...
