I have been debating on
whether or not to try and drill past the carbon strips for the vertical fin
post or not. The problem is that the carbon strips do not go all the way thru
the fuse so the drill bit is likely going to wonder off the side and the resulting
hole will not be vertical. I went slowly with a slightly larger bit than needed
hoping the bits stiffness would help keep it from wondering. The rear post hole
is good! The front post did slip off the side of the carbon but I am satisfied
with the front post being just into the balsa.
Really the last thing
to work on until the covering order arrives is the cockpit. I am looking for a picture to print and use as
the pilot. The obvious is a picture of me but that has been done over and over
along with snoopy… I wish I could find a higher res shot of Kirby Chambliss
from the wing mounted gopro like this one. Anyone know Kirby?
Put a picture of your son in it.
ReplyDeleteI bet he would get a kick out of that.
