RE: ZIROLI F9F PANTHER BUILD
Assembly (cont)
pic 1/2:
elevator and half the rudder installed.
1/64" thick ply on bottom to bridge the gap between stab and elevator.
pic 3-5:
dry fit P-70, tail pipe, 2 fuel tanks, 3 small air tanks and two 5K ma battery packs.
I carved out a third hole for the extra air tank.
I do no sanding on the fuse with the turbine in the plane and thoroughly blow all dust out of the fuse before every install of the turbine. Those bearings turning 120,000 rpm's are a little less tolerant to dust than a gas engine bearing doing 6000 rpm's!
