RE: Hughes H-1 1/4 scale
Happy new year everyone
I wish you all happy landings
After a long time I finaly closed the belly but only after I placed the cables for the pull pull systems.

RE: Hughes H-1 1/4 scale
I'm leaving the tail section open in purpose to fit the tail wheel first.
I only closed the one side of the tail section just for test. I used 1.5mm balsa a wet sponge
and very patience.

It was time for the tail wheel. But in order to keep the budget low and keep it for something most important I decided
to use a nose wheel retract that Ihad from an other project. It wasn't easy to fit but I guess it will do the job.

RE: Hughes H-1 1/4 scale
after the tail wheel it was time for the controls ofthe rudder and the elevator just before I close the tail.
I used a piece of hard wood to keep the rudder steel wire steady and for the elevator I used plywood.

As soon as the systems passed the functionality tests, I was ready to cover the tail.
At first I thought to use blue foam, but eventually I went with balsa.

RE: Hughes H-1 1/4 scale
After a long time I made some progress so there it is .
Next thing to do was to set the wing incidense and make the wing seat.
