Looks like you have some work to do at that wing root Bill.

Ouch!
That is all I can say.
Other than, bummer!

It all turned out good. For this little task I am glad I spent the money on them Tamiya basic files!!!! They were the perfect sizes for them root fairings, top and bottom.

Now the tail feathers are attached. Can't believe the amount of dihedral on them!!! I had to reshape the port side join to equal the starboard dihedral. And the slots are not lined up with the stab so I had to enlarge them to get them align with the fairings. Just a bit of work.

Now I can load the nose.

[T Bolt]

Looks good Bill!

 

[Wayne Little]

some fairly hefty filing work there Bill but as you say some fine round files and some care those steps smooth out nicely...

 

[Airframes]

Good stuff Bill. And I think we now have to call Glenn 'Nose Weight' !
