RE: TF Elder 40
Nickj,
Your build looks good. I've built quite a few planes (to replace the ones I've re-kitted) and this was about the most enjoyable although I'm not really sure why; just felt good. A couple of observations if I might:
1. I hopr you haven't glued the pylon assembly in place yet; if you have the covering will be a challenge.
2. When you cut out the cockpit area, be careful when you handle the wing. The edge of the cutout is fragile and very susceptible to "Hangar Rash". I am considering gluing a doubler around the underside to add a little rigidity.
And now a question: As I was bringing the plane back to the bench to restart my work on it, I began to wonder about the wing center rib joint. In most of my prior builds, I have always laid on a strip of fiberglass cloth to strengthen the joint. In this case it might prove to be a bit troublesome, but certainly could be done if required. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
