Scale Top Flite P-40 Build Thread

[Charles]

Thanks I sheeted the rear of the top of the wing today. First wing I've sheeted in 58 years. Goes to show you you never forget skils llearned as a kid.

I got the top sheeting trimmed and some spots filled. I will go over underside and fill spots in it then do the wing tips before the end of the week.

Hi really starting to look good.

Finished the top of the wing today then turned it over and cut the holes for the servos and applied filler to the seams and will sand tomorrow after the filler sets.

Put in the 13th wing ribs and LE and TE blocks. the blocks didnt quite line up so will have to shape the tips a little more than expected. what else is new.

worked on the plane this evening. Sheeted the wing tips and glued on the wingtip blocks.

In looking at the servo tray and push rod setups, I think you could cut a new opening for an additional servo, elevate it some, and use this as your pull-pull setup for tailwheel control. If you don't like this, then the only other option is to leave the servos as designed, the rudder one becomes strictly tailwheel, and look at placing the rudder's servo on the aft of the fuse like you see done on 3D planes.
