RE: First Scratch Build
Ihave begun work on the fuselage. It goes together pretty quickly, although the formers on my plan were mostly the wrong sizes. Imade F-2 out of 1/4" ply to accept the wing tab and to add some strength to the landing gear mount. Iam going to make it a taildragger, so the LGmount will go right in front of F-2.
Ialso added some balsa wing saddle doublers.
Tha tank size on my plan was 12 to 16 ounces. Iscaled down to 75% and figured I could fit an 8 ounce tank, but the 8 oz Dubro Ihave will not fit. I'll either have to find a shorter 8 oz tank or go with a 6 oz.
