Default RE: Vailly Aviation Hawker Hurricane Build Thread

One of the tailwheels arrived so I've posted a pic to compare it to the one I had. It's a beaut! Thanks Scalenutz! I also have been busy on the stabs. I am learning how important it is to draw accurate centerlines and have tight right angles. The ply outer frame looked straight but when I began to attach the ribs I could see it was slightly twisted. I finally figured out that if I glued the tip of the rib to the outer frame, and THEN glued the base of the rib to the leading edge on the center line and and a right angle, it would automatically straighten the frame. I glued the two end ribs first and then filled in the middle ribs.
