Stingray Construction
Sleep, whats that! I work from 2330 to 0700 so on the weekends I just stay on that routine, it is too hard to change back and forth with the sleep schedule, plus I can work on the planes all night guilt free after the wife goes to bed! I am trying to get this thing done in case I deploy so I work on it often. I believe that Pauls canopy was from the old version of the F-86, but I think I am going to use the yellow F-16 canopy since it is a little smaller/sleeker, plus it is an exact fit if I remember correctly. I flipped the servo over in the fin last night and it is going to work fine I think. I had to use socket head screws and I am going to have to use an allen wrench to get the screws out 1/1000 of a turn at a time! I am going to box the cutout in with 1/16 ply to stiffen up the mounting area and hopefully minimize flexing in the fin. I did not get as much last night as I had hoped but I want to take this part slow. We will see how it goes today.
