Dan, that's a very good job on the cowling. How do you do that? Can't imagine it's just sanding as you mentioned. You must be using a filler or something first?

Thanks, Everybody! It sure is looking like a Camel now...
Erik: I fill the inside with a super glue layer, hit it with accelerator and then start sanding. Usually, it's just sanding and priming until the cows come home. This time, because I wanted a better convex shape, I did do a layer of putty and then did some more spot fills as it was primed. Since last time, I got the tails rigged and started the top wing. The construction of the wings is different in that you add the skeleton parts to a paper backing. Also, there is no single main spar. It's in pieces that go in between the ribs. Not my idea of strength or a way to get a straight structure, but after a night in a heavy book, it seems ok. One issue is that the top skins seem way too long (almost a 1/4 inch) so I did some trimming. A little worried about how the ailerons will match up, now but we'll see! More soon...Dan |

Got the top ailerons on with some fiddling and fakery, and then made the bottom wings too. They also have the top skin over-size problem. Now that it's all done, I think what would have fixed it was about 1/16th inches of extra rib leading edge. That would have made the top fold over match up to the trailing edges much better. I figure the skins are probably perfect so maybe it was the rib size or placement of said ribs.
It'll work, though. Live and learn. Dan |

Top wing on! Well...still needs some nudging and the cabanes but it seems to fit very well indeed.
