RE: CAMODEL PASS-PORT BUILD (very slow)
Here are some detail pics and the plane assembled.
The wing fairings are done nicely, I can go back and make them just perfect, just a little more detail sanding here and there.
The factory wing panels are a little on the heavy side at about 13 ozs which might mean 16 oz flying.
Everything is done really nice and clean. And TIGHT. Really seems like a got a RTC plane and not a kit.
AS far as I can tell the plane is perfectly aligned and at the proper incidences.
I only have to finish the wing tips and sfgs - and tip cap the rudder. Every thing is already rough sanded and ready to go.
On the fuse the work to be done is the canopy attachment, motor mount, landing gear mount and battery and radio trays.
There are 2 carbon/nomex fuse formers the original builder installed, they look good - the bare fuse is at 32 oz.
Everything looks great and I really don't need much to finish the build..... Thanks Jon !
question - is there any source for un-sheeted pass-port foam wing cores? I could save about 10 -12 oz with lighter wing panels...
