RE: DeHavilland Mosquito
started the other wing tonight.....same as the first version.....
first wing top covered...leading edge needs adding...3/8" balsa,, will do this when the other wing is at the same stage...much easier to get right when sanding 2 one after the other
wing tips...made from 2mm light ply sandwiched between 1/2" light balsa...the light ply will let me achieve a good thin edge once sanded also give the tips some protection against hager rash..light removed...once the tip has been sanded to shape a piece of model lab board will tacked in place snaded to suit the tip sections and then used to make the mould for clear plastic covers.
the fin and rudder are built on a 1/16" core...hinge points need to be cut into the cores first.....using large robart hinges......also rudder connection needs figuring out...using bent piano wire with a T piece for push pull wire system
rudder almost finished.....1/4" balsa needs adding to the inside edge of the rudder this will be shaped...bullnose fashion....trim tab removed for ease..this will be finished later.....
