Yes it was a big disappointment, spent a lot of time and effort to build the plane. and flew like crap, and could not fix it. Hopefully this change will do it if not into the pile.
The tail section is now connected and sturdy. Now just have to try to blend the leading fin of the rudder into the fuselage. It will be difficult to make it look good but as long as it flys properly I will be happy. As soon as the rudder is done I will take a picture.
Fixed a lot of landing gear and bashed front ends of planes but this is first putting a tail section on a plane, not as easy as I thought it would be.
Well it’s all connected and the rudder blended into the fuselage, difficult to blend a round section into a square fuselage. Now just have fill some holes sand everything smooth. The rudder still needs some work.
All the wood work is done the tail is back on the plane. Elevators fixed and changed from internal servos to external. The rudder is also rebuilt and new horns added.
All I can say is not as tough as I use to be, and I am feeling it a while back I could get up 6 or 7 o’clock and work right through till midnight to get a plane done. Now every 5 hours I need a rest sit and take a break. It is going to take a little longer than I thought I was hoping to get it all done and back into the air this year before it got really cold. Unfortunately it has gotten quite cold lately it has been around the freezing point. To bad I will have wait for the spring impatiently to see if the changes fixed the plane.
Working hard on getting everything covered. All I can say is I have always used Ultracote and just got use to how it works and stretches. But all I can say is the new stuff is not the same still works but different. Also if buy the same colour and at different times the colours change not a lot but it is noticeable.
