Thanks DickeyBird, any suggestions at all, please pass them along. oh and thanks for the engine drawing, it looks nice up there huh.

All of the framing stickes are 3/16 square and the bigger stuff for the tail surfaces is 3/16 x 3/8. I am going to sheet the whole inside of the cabin/servo compartment with 1/16" sheet and the bottom from the nose to about half way down with 3/32" cross grain sheet. I got a piece of 3/16x4x36 to make to odd shaped pieces on the fuse, the tips of the tail surfaces and the elevators. I was thinking about making the two nose pieces out of the 3/16 sheet as well, just to beef it up a little.

It was an after thought, do you think that will help or is that overkill. I want to make the top piece of the nose a hatch so beefing up the sides will give me a better surface to attach it to.

If you see anything else that looks if-y, please let me know.


Digger, Thanks, it's just like anything else, I really wanted to know how to use it, so I just sat and tinkered until I got it. I feel like there is so much that I still don't know, but everytime I get on it I learn a little bit more.

You should check it out, there is a link in Dickeybirds "Wierd things wirh whirly wings" thread. It's free, and worth every penny .


as always,
the prole
