Great work.....You are a master Erik.

How thick is the cardboard you used for the beams of the wings?

Outer wings

Hi guys, back again. Had a lot of time this weekend to continue the Hurricane. Thank you Kevin, Yoav, Olo, Rifleman, David and Sergio for your continued interest!

@Yoav: I used 0.9mm thick cardboard for the wing structure. Together with the paper parts, which are 0.1mm thick, the total thickness is 1mm, which is exactly fine.

As said before, the middle wing former is too long. As the landing light assembly needs to be installed at the former it will lead to problems. So I decided to cut loose the outer wing structure and forget about the front part of the middle former. Instead, I reinforced the landing light assembly and installed it in the folded wing, which already provides the correct shape, no former needed. Then I applied patches of scrap paper to the inside of the wing to double the skin in order to stiffen the skin. I did this before at the Fokker D21 build and it results in a firm wing, without the risk of internal structure "shining through" when accidentally pressing too hard on the wing during handling of the model.

The wing closes at the back end, and I used a homemade gluing tab here, another useful experience.

Then I installed the outer wing structure (careful dry-fit is an absolute must!) and finally wingtip and aileron. The right wing has a slight aileron down configuration and the left one is a little up. Too much is unnatural, in fact an aircraft "at ease" on the ground never has its ailerons deflected, unless the stick has been tied to a certain position (normally only done when parked for the night to avoid undesired movement caused by wind).

Finally, the outer wing can be slid over the stub of the inboard structure. The wings fit perfectly and a connecting strip hides the seam. Very well designed Orlik!

I drilled a small hole in each wing at the location of the guns and fitted small brass tubes (diameter 2mm, with 1mm inside), painted gun metal to make the guns look more realistic. The weathering here is beautiful, with smoke trails above and below the gun openings.

The hatches of the guns are not equipped with hinges, in fact they were loose items, (un)screwed by ground staff as you can see in the final picture (see next post). So I intend to keep them loose.

A lot of work involved for the wings, glad I've finished this part!

Cheers,
Erik

Very nice Erik.

The Hurricane has, in my opinion, quite a complex wing shape, given also the wing roots and the aerofoil that was used.

You have done a great job building it, and this is borne out by the finished shape and symmetry of the wing.
