Re: Wing nut Wings FE2b
Finally joined the two halves and it has made the whole thing a lot stronger
it sort of looks done but there are actually dozens of parts still to fit, all the fine detail and we still have no control wires to the tail/rudder and airlons......or a prop the rigging to the bomb cradle looks like it might be fun

Re: Wing nut Wings FE2b
So what are you attaching the rigging to on the tail? you have no turnbuckles there, did you install just the eyelets?

Simply outstanding. A work of art. Keep up the good work
James , I just read that scientist had just woven violin strings from spider web filaments. Probably better than silk. Now how to convince the spiders :idonno

Re: Wing nut Wings FE2b
You lot are too kind
I have now added the control wires to the tail.
I still need to add the control wires for airlons + horns, wing skids. Bombs and racks, machine guns , fuel tanks and plumbing and all the little bits you leave till last because if you are like me you will break them off

Re: Wing nut Wings FE2b
No no, what DID you use to attach the rigging on the structure. I can't see turnbuckles or eyelets.

Re: Wing nut Wings FE2b
Truth is MP, i didnt attach to the tail at all ! The lines go through the tail and back to the main frame.. Same with the control cables, they go from the front to the back, glued to the top of the horn, through the tail surface, glued to the underside horn and back to the front again...one piece.
The wires from the tail plane to the ruder are one wire going round and round the tail. When you look at the real thing the fixings would be to small to see in this scale really but you could add a small bead of super glue to the wire where it goes through the surface then paint it to look like a fixing
you can see here how small the turnbuckles are on tail fixings and i figure you wouldnt really notice them.
