Good evening gentlemen and fellow members:
I'll jump right into the topic which I believe will be the wings and tail feathers. We've covered so much the past months with the super detailing of both Vickers and Lewis machine guns, the fuselage and all of its paneling, and of course, the cockpit interior with the customized instruments. Whoa.... Lots of coverage for this model.
With all that (now) behind us for the time being, we'll focus on the wings and tail surfaces. To start, Guillow's plans call for the top wing to be in one piece and of course the lower wings in two separate pieces.
As in previous posts, it all starts (again) with research and documentation. Without risking copyright infringements, everyone knows that there are several sites which will show the wings in detail and along with the wings, the unique triangular inspection windows that allows the pilot and mechanics to view the pulley system to the ailerons (same with the horizontal stab and the elevators). Finally, the documentation also shows the equally unique static rigging to the biplane with extra lines drawn up from the fuselage/lower wing to about midway to the undersides of the top wings. I'll start by posting some of the drawings of the static rigging along with some photos of the details pertaining to the rigging.
