A rainy afternoon so I switched to the TM. A few measurements and some layout work and the next piece of fuse covering its looking good.

Working on the rear door layout tonight.

Plans call for 2 layers of 'Proskin' or wood laminated into the curve. Or aluminum. I'm considering laminating stain grade plywood on the inside of the door either way. I like to attack the interior as soon as possible.

This 3 ply plywood is very thin.

Is the fiberglass sheet Pro-Skin?

Is the fiberglass sheet Pro-Skin?

Yes. It looks/feels like thin G10.

Laminating another door today. Also picked up a reference book.

 

[TonyHallo]

Great reference material!

There was a fellow at the Northeast Scale Contest with a Tiger Moth. Powered by a 60 sized Valach single. The engine and muffler assembly were mounted on a sliding plate that was removeable. I think I can track him down if you like. Didn't even think about it until traveling home.

Mine is a 60 valach, that would be a great contact.

Let me see if I can track him down.
