RE: Bridi Killer Bee
OK
Here is a couple pictures from a previous post on the fuselage.
I did cut in the lightening holes, changed out 1/2" triangle stock for 3/4" and added 1/2" triangle stock in corners of rear fuselage.
I also choose 1/8" sheet on top forward section of fuse. This looked alot easier than planking with 1/8 x 1/4 peices provided. I still used those on the curvy part as the 1/8 sheet does not bend well or easy.
The ST 3250 mounted to the firewall would be way short. I used a 5" hole saw and a 3" hole saw to make ring shaped peices from 1/4 plywood. I stacked these to make a forward firewall for the radial mount of the ST. I also added another 1/4" sheet to double up the existing firewall, making it a whole half inch thick. If I was to do over I would double up the firewall. This added alot of extra weight.
The plans call for stringers on the turtle deck. I never liked this look so I purchased thinner stringers, trimmed the formers 3/32 and used 3/32 to sheet plank the turtle deck.
Pictures show the rough sanded results.
