Hi Oliver
Good to see some photos of your 262. I took delivery of mine last week and I've been "exploring" everything and have heaps of questions and things to resolve. Have you decided how you will mount the engine nacelles? I'm thinking of making these detachable which will require some extra stucture and mounting points.
Anyway, I'm keen to follow what you are doing.
cheers
Rod
Hello Rod,
I will probably go for a shear pin mounting method for the nacelles.
The middle nacelle former can be moved and extended to go through the center wing section. I would then use two 6 mm carbon pins to hold the former at the back of the front spar.
A former should be made to seat aft of the rear spar location. A 4 mm nylon screw could be used to fasten the rear assembly. The holes in the outer rib center section would be usefull to fasten the screw.
I have just finished writing an detailed article for the next RCJIpublication . I tried to make it complementary to the excellent building manual from Ilja...
In any cases I'd be more than happy to help you and answer as many questions as you want.
