Default RE: Building the Proctor Nieuport 11

One more.

Here is a Fokker tail.Here I just used sheet balsa to form the outline for the reed dowel on the elevator counter-balances.It doesn't look like I have added the dowel yet in this picture.I may have gone a little overboard by using sheet for the entire outer bay but on my first Fokker I only had a laminated balsa outline and I was always breaking those counter-balances when transporting the model.

PS I really like your capstrip jig.I may have to steal your idea whenever I get around to making my Proctor Albatros
