The Gear Asy was done with Laser to find exact Locations:

Matzito

Started to build the orig intakes



A second Canopy Master was made in Aluminum:


Alu shaped to perfektion, for Vakuumforming mean 360er sandpaper is o.k. so the Vivak / PETG can glide above very good:

Started to build the Splitflaps, difficult due the low profile is not easy to get it stiff enough


The fat body blocks my complete workshop for days...

Matzito

the lower board dives in the frame during forming with vacuum, the air is sucked through these holes near the canopy

lower wing surface nearly ready

just 1 try, didn`t had over material so it was success that the 1st try was ok

quick cut and try


only glued at the outer corners, the inner structure is not glued, due to optical perfection


Already protected for further steps

I started to glas all surfaces with 55gr/m2 diagonal, just the wings had only 1,2mm Balsa so they needed 2 times 55gr, 1st diagonal 2nd dihedral

Matzito

All the servo covers glassed:


Protections for some areas

lower side göassed 2 times 55gr :


Hingeslot for Ailerons


Cover for elevator servo

Positionlight on wingtips will be located on upper and lower surface later


The ACL Anti Collision Light

...in orig Position

Tailwheelfork:


and the "egg" that covers the tailwheel/fork

Matze......As usual you totally amaze me.
Doug Farwig here and. I am still with you my friend.
This model is going to be a piece of Art when finished and I for one can't wait to see the final product.
Your building skill are truly on another level and your dedication stands Proud.
After the hours and hours that you have put into this model flying it is going to take a true test of Intestinal Fortitude.
I wish you Good Wishes.
Best Regards As Always,

Hi Doug,
good to hear that you are well,
I was off for the Coronatime, due I build 8, in words eight planes, you can chase outerzone and search for matthias, than you find em.
QED: The maiden is planned for AMD-meeting in Havelberg next year thats in June/July, may be if I'm fast in Ahnsbeck on "Pfingsten". Will see. Presently my only project, but,... a few projects in the pipeline, there will be a Star 13 a vintage glider next and I help a friend to create an MQ9 Reaper.
Today I finalised the cowling mounting and closed the gap and Shaped and will shape the fuselage to the cowling contour.

All Parts are now in fibre glas and I*m happy with the result, further steps done and in Decembre parts will go to the paint shop foer first layer of filler, hopefully sufficient and light

all parts ready glassed

Ecaust areas were made on a plotted mould from thin layers

Stabilizer forming contour also made in plotted mould from thiny layers,light like paper.

Matze, things are looking spectacular. Yes, the glass work came out fantastic. Can't wait to see it with some color on it.
Have you decided on a pilot figure yet....?
Maybe two pilot figures which would look fantastic.
December is right around the corner so I'm sure you are hard at it if you want to meet your dead line..
Great work as usual Matze.....

Hi Doug,
presently nothing is scheduled with the cockpit, First step is a good maiden flight may be I reschedule later. For the first flight there will be no pilots inside. Yes I know if you do not do the things directly and say I can do this later than it fall off the board. Presently I startet to tape things that should not get in touch with filler. So fist step is filler, thats not really colour in this grey tone. but you can easily see any surface issue. I hope to get it back with filler before xmas to work on it between he years.
cheers matze

Got the parts back and sanded up to 1000 wet, soon the parts are finished an ca get their final white color. Short before leaving to the paintshop again a final trial assy to see how everything comes together, I'm a bit stunned by thee final size and impression, here some pictures, cheers Matze

last Paintjob finished yesterday and today assambled the gear and engine proforma with 2 bolts of 5 and add decals to the fin. The tailwheel need some more work the next days. hopefully I van fly the Machine in May this year, cheers Matzito

Engine is a 150/5 Moki but the space is good for a 250/5 Moki too. When I made the construction I blew it up until both rotation bodies suit into the cowling this leads to a scale of 1:4,4 approx and wingspan of 100 inch. As soon as the plane is airborne all constrution details including cockpit resin 3d prints etc can be downloaded on outerzone.
