Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

[dhal22]

The inner root rib has to go outside of the cabin therefore I need a filler rib piece for the windows. Which I've done but the main upper support is a major problem.

So the painted window post is not inline with the cabin side window posts? I'm trying to remember if there are some exterior longerons on the cabin side that would spread the cabin outward a bit or not. This would have allowed full scale access to the stab trim I think... but maybe that a PA-18

Correct, painted post leans out. It will have to be redone.

Don't know if these will help?

Tony, thanks. All photos help.

Time to look at the longerons and see how they play into outside finish at the window area. A small puzzle in a big puzzle. Just a piece at a time.

Working on cabin posts today.

With questions about the 3 window pieces I decided to draw up actual size and resolve the issues on paper.

Does the center window slide up? I can't find anything online. I could make it a sliding window relatively easy.

 

[dhal22]

Slide down it appears, more trouble than it's worth I think.

Window work today, slitting the window posts as needed. The drawing I made helps me keep track of where to cut.
