Provost

And a very large brandy :woohoo:

Ok,first job is to glue together the four pieces to make up the engine box using pva.
Next up is to sort out the 41 individual ply parts for the fuselage, laser cutting on the ply parts is superb.

The fuselage crutch is built inverted over the plan.The lower formers ate tack glued in place,and lower stringers added. Once happy remove from plan,start filling upper formers.I.have temporarily fitted the engine box to aid alignment of front formers.

Hi, looks brilliant, I wish I could build so quick and with such accuracy.
Can't wait to see it in the air..

Very impressive so far

Nothing done on the provost today as i was on grandpops duty
The provost like my hurricane showed the elevator servos using very long push rods which in my mind is a big no no.So before i start sheeting the fuzz i am going to make a double servo tray and fit this under the fin with an access hatch .The rudder servo will be standard set up on heavy duty stainless wires.
I think this will help with the c of g as Frank has a lovely radial 60cc 4 stroke banger which will sound sooooooooooooooo scale up front.Another job on the agenda for tomorrow is fit the wing and glue the locating dowels and start the wing fairing

Pete

Elevator and rudder trays made and fitted

Perfect alignment of the wing locating dowels 1/4 square added to support the dowels and flooded with med cyano, the bottom wing sheeting can now be fitted

Here you go frank, starting to look like a provost
