RE: Build Thread-Scratch built for 8s
This whole weekend was devoted to finishing the dang thing. (i didn't) But I came close. I was setting the incidences when it started raining and I had to haul it all in. Over the next week I should get the controls hooked up, and get the plugs to the point where I can start pulling molds. I had to rebuild the turtle deck plug. This time I built it up, stringers and all, then sheeted it. It's straighter than the first try, and it was probably faster than trying to get the original to look good. I started on plugs to mold the wing tips from flower shop foam, but decided to rethink that too. I am having my laser guy cut some pieces so I can stack them into a more accurate shape.
The plug for the cowl is sitting on the ground next to it.right now it is plywood, flower shop foam, and light weight Spackle.
