Parts Drying More mayhem tomorow again

The paint crew was in today working on the interior and fittings so assembly can continue.

With the forward fuselage closed up, the tail boom can be attached. We'll let that set-up overnight and clean up the joints tomorrow.

The biggest joint to fill will be at the tail boom attachment. The fuselage seams have filled for the most part by the glue melting the plastic and squeezing out with pressure applied during assembly.

Cheers,
Rich

Final peak inside before things get buttoned up.

And where the assembly is pausing for the night.

Dave must be spending too much time trash talking, and not enough building. He's the only one without and assembled fuselage. :fencing

I need to go wrap presents now so I can get them off to the post. So I probably won't make anymore headway until this afternoon.

 

[SA Dave]

It sux to get a glue finger print on them Luckily they were futured.

Main rotor assembled and ready for painting.

I will have fix a couple of moulding problems with the rotor system. The main rotor fixed swashplate is missing two of the legs that attach it to the cabin roof. The tail rotor drive shaft housing is a blob that will have to be scratched.

What else is a guy to do on a day that it has just got up to -29[sup]o[/sup]C at lunch time.

Cheers,
Rich

 

[SA Dave]

So its not a good time to say its 10 o'clock here and still 30C Lovely weather we might even go to the beach tomorrow.

 

[RichB]

Maybe Wednesday. It is looking quite tropical then, high near 0[sup]o[/sup]C and the lake isn't completely frozen yet.

Cheers,
Rich

Thanks for the encouragement James its apreciated

 

[moon puppy]

I got nothing fast for that. I do have a 1:48 F111...that one ain't gonna be fast.

I think I'm gonna take a couple extra days off next week, recharge batteries, reboot some wireless (I'm not the lowest paid global wifi administrator you'd ever know). I mean it's Christmas week, who's working?
