F15 Build

Dave picked up my F15 today thanks mate

Possible scheme

Leave it clear Pete, unique stealth fighter (see-thru) :oops:

Looks like a fair bit has been done, all ok, or rework required?

Not sure yet Jon???the model is still with Dave

F15 generally seem to be shades of grey (for obvious reasons). But Cashmoor also being grey a lot of the time and for easy viewing I would suggest the one below, not too difficult.

Made a start on the f15.First job a coat of primer to see how many pinholes in the jel coat and really pleased I don't have many.Next was to epoxy the elevator pivot bearings in to support the elevator pivot tubes.I then scribed the elevators to the short fuzz boomd.Next up were the fins and cut out for the rudders/wings had flaps and ailerons cut out ready to edge with balsa as the wings are foam.Today iv ordered the wing and elevator tubes so can't do too much more until they arrive on Wednesdsy

Mine was rock steady. With no flaps, the only way to slow up was to get the nose up and drop in. Very predictable - I remember being forced into the maiden by Dave Rogers (so to speak)
