Default RE: MK Aurora 90

So we continue.... Firstly thankyou to all who commented regarding my query on the wing weight. My intentions are to use this model for my own amusement, built for nothing more than nostalgia, I'll continue the build with the wings presented here.

Fin. This is quite simple, consisting of pre cut sheeted sides of 1/16" balsa located over a diecut fin ribs. The rudder is preshaped solid balsa, minimal time required to build with cyno.

Next a preshaped block tail faring is tacked in place with a draop of cyno along with the fin. One nice feacher with the kit is a 1/32" ply strip let into the fin faring to be used as a centreline guild.
To remove the majority of balsa on the fin fairing, I used a dremal drill with abrasive wheel disc. The contors to blend into the fin were carved with rough sand paper wrapped around a jam jar. Light sand paper to finish off.
The reason why the fin fairing was tacked on was to enable the MK dual belcrank to be fitted later, forward thinking needed in some cases.
