RE: Swick Taylorcraft
Well I got most of the wing and fuse finished off Landing gear looks like it could be a problem to fasten will take some pictures maybe someone has a good idea Now on to the cowl ,this will take some time and a whole lot of sanding maybee even more than one try at it.The original plans show it being built on the fuse with longerons(lack of better word)built in to the fuse as an aligning point. as you can see from my pictures only one is on the plane the other has been broken off. So I decided to build it on the table using some cross lines a little eye alignment and a whole lot of good luck I hope. The picture shows the plywood cowl plate and the balsa face plate with 4 balsa sticks glued to hold it in the place I felt was the right spot. I then started adding thin strips (planking)to fill in the space. Removing the sticks that were used for alignment as I went along
