Pepsi Chipmunk Build

Yes it was hot this afternoon so glad I am finished the painting of the walls by 12. Then outside in the sunhine and cutting skirting in klit form ready for fixing.

Chippy coming along in leaps and bounds. Is there enough wood to use Robarts Pete? Because of the design I would think the flat Kavans is the only option possibly? Are you going to just dry fit the hinges so the control surfaces can be cover filmed first?

Regarding wings and flaps. Rather than use the torque rod as per plan maybe a hard point in the centre of the flaps and then I could make up separate servo mounts for the flaps?

Yes Phil I will go with robarts and not glue them so you can cover easier.I had already put another servo bay in for the flaps !!

Great minds think alike! :whistle: Doing a great job buddy. Thanks

Last job done on the chippy today,f/glass bandage on the wing and she is finished,ready to handover to Phil on Sunday.
To make it easy for Phil to cover I have not glued any of the surfaces and tail plane and fin are tacked on.Also the wing to fuzz fairing is left off.

Nice work as per usual mate

Oh Pete! That is looking Sooo so good. :woohoo: Many many thanks mate. I just hope my covering will do it justice. Luckily the multitude of stars are supplied in the transfer set.
