Curare 60 E

Positioning the stabs became a bit of a 'cats cradle' with all of the masking tape. I used plenty of 30 minute epoxy so had time to position the stabs and now I will just hope.

Judging by the end photo shot it looks good Simon.

Interestingly Orange and blue seem to be the 'IN' colours for new models at the moment!

Should be orange and green though

Naa! the orange and blue scheme is the Exclusive and 'on trend' colour scheme Jon!

And historically incorrect

Yes, I have to agree with your comment Jon. The predominant blue colour is not the traditional Hanno scheme.
However I'm very pleased with the way the model looks, especially as the stabs are attached and lining up nicely! It was the one job I was least looking forward to tackling.
Following the comment you made Jon I used plenty of glue! Thank you for the tip.

Glad it went well Simon

Well, today we have a fully assembled ARTF Curare. However, as with most projects of this ilk the fettling phase has come around. I'm going to take my time sorting out the r/h flap issue and trying to tidy up the servo cabling. Right now the cabling is a bit of a mess! So much wiring in such a small fuselage. Main thing as regards the airframe everything fits and lines up. Have to admit the canopy was an absolute pig to locate correctly. After much head scratching and sanding small areas of its structure it now fits reasonably well.
The Curare can now stand on its wheels.
No visit to Cashmore on the horizon so no hurry.
