RE: Dynaflite Chipmunk - Build
Well I am back at it again, took a bit of time off to work on another model (nice little .20 sized Texan).
I have the fuse set aside until the wing is done. The Wing is not partially built and joined. I cannot believe how big this wing is, a 90" one piece Wing is a real pain to move around my little shop.
No pics of the Wing yet, but the fuse is in good shape as you can see here.
That is sitting on a full sized couch, you can see it is a very big plane.
The build has gone really well, I am looking forward to getting the wing done and ready to mount. I am not sure if I can to add some scale wing tip lights ect, I guess I have to think that through soon.
I am also not sure if I want to get the scale gear from Robart or not, I think it might be nice to have, but maybe I will do that after the build is done, then I will retrofit them in.
I will be glassing the fuse - really excited about that. I have just finished my first glass job on the Texan, not primed yet, but it looks really good right now, smooth and ready to paint, the wings will be done with Coverite and painted.
I am really enjoying this project, it should be complete by the end of Winter, then on to my 81" Norseman!
