Begin' Acro Glider

Not if you make a jig.

But Chris doesn't like jigs :dry:

next time I'll used a ream of paper

I've got a stack of old 'phone books I use for that purpose, just the job!

Being from Yorkshire I'm far more sophisticated - Just nail it te bench lad !

I got a little frustrated with this build sometime in January, I skinned the wings and wasn't totally happy with the results, and had a few troublesome issues that I can't quite remember now, but basically lost interest in it... But with it unfinished I am unable to crack on with anything else, so I'm back at it with a different attitude, 'just get it done and see how it files' So last weekend I got the glue out again.

Oh and yes I did use my jig when gluing the fuselage

Okay this will be my last moan about this kit, but I think this just sums up the frustration I've been having with it



The trailing edge of the tail plane is one piece and the elevator is one piece, yet some how they have managed, with great precision, to make the elevator 2mm too short!

There is a 4mm dowel that secures the front end of the canopy, I didn't quite drill it at the right angle, but hopefully it's close enough.



Is there a convention as to whether to glue the dowel into the canopy and have a hole in the glider nose, or the hole in the canopy and the dowel glued into the nose?
