Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

[-Rick-]

Other tools are nice to have but a decent scroll saw and drill press are probably the two most important power tools in my opinion for any major building. Maybe a dremel as well but there are plenty of hand tools that can do all a dremel does.

Yes, I could not work without my dremel. I wore out my 90 degree attachment for it and will get another, I really miss it.

Very nice! I had my doubts but looks like you pulled it off.

Not easy to find a straight, even grain 1/4" dowel. I believe that one part of the original kit. The smaller size bent much easier that the 3/8" that I've used elsewhere on the build.

Tapering the rudder pieces from 3/8 - 1/4.

More rudder assembly. Close to the best part of building, gluing stuff.

First phase of rudder building done. Looked the same as prior photos so I put it on the fuse for something different.

Building the horizontal stab supports/mounts today.

Soldered the final rudder connectors. I used a c.f. rod to hold the little brass tube parts down. Very little heat and these were done.

Whoops, extra photo there.

Final rudder piece. Cut, beveled, slit, milled, angled, an hour getting this piece right.

Vertical stab on and drying.
