Default RE: Depron Twinkle

got stuck into some building last night. Bent up some landing gear and laminated the blocks for them to plug into... added them into the fuse with reinforcing triangles to spread the load as well as gluing them to the main spars for strength. Put on the bottom depron sheeting for the fuse, and covered the bottom surface of the fuse and tip floats with .75oz cloth and epoxy resin (this is optional, but the strength and scratch resistance is nice for grass flying). When dry, sanded the excess off the firberglass and finish sanded it a little for a nice and smooth surface. Made up a stabiliser, hinging with scotch tape with a scotch tape reinforced leading edge.

Reckon that one more build session and this puppy is flying!
