RE: CMPro Giles 202 - 50
It was yet another very windy day to- day , no flying this weekend it seems Grrrrr ! , but did get to make a start on me Giles. First things first, went all over looking for any build faults that I could spot , all ok except for it needing a very small dollop of epoxy down a hair line gap in one corner of firewall.
I also took you’re advice on adding a little epoxy around the landing gear bulk head, I warmed some epoxy up under a table lamp so it got warm and very runny, then poured it in to landing gear bulk head and swelled it around a little to get it to spred all over.
I added a little to the inside of the engine mount box while I was at it.
When it’s hot and runny a little epoxy goes along way, afterwards I checked the weight of the fuse and it only added about 20grams so I’m happy with that.
I got the Aileron mounted on the wings with out any trouble there ( thanks for the tip “Aenigma about using oil to stop the glue getting into the joints “ )and done the little cut outs for the servos, I noticed when cutting the covering out wings that it actually looks quite thick for covering , seems to be made up of three layers two clear with the colored layer sand-wedged in-between. Not had any real problems with it yet.
Still a long way to go before I’ll be taking to the skies with this one. Well that is unless it keeps raining ;-)
