Hi All
The build continues with the adding of more formers to the cockpit sides then strips of wood are added to both sides and the same strips are added to the top of the fuselage.
Next the assembled fuselage is removed from the jig and the underneath cleaned up then the rear stabilizer has more wooden strips added top and bottom. The tail area longerons are trimed off at the last fuslelage former and the pre-cut parts are added here. The metal rudder post and skid was next prepared and painted and then added to the fuselage along with some etch parts.
The elevator was next made up from a length of 1.5mm wire rod and etch parts all glued together and then painted before fitting. The fin goes on next again made from etch parts then the rudder was assembled, painted and fitted.
More soon.

Hi all More done the rudder bar assembly has been made up then fitted to the cockpit. Then all the control wires for the rudder and elevators were fixed in position. The bungee cord for the tail skid was the next thing fitted. Next the brackets and turn buckles were added to the fuselage ready to add the fuselage bracing wires. The set of bracing wires has been fitted. More soon. Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
