Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

[Snoopy1]

I think coping will add a month to the project unless someone knows a quicker way. But I ain't butt joining.

Nicely done that looks perfect now another 200 more to go. Are going to drill a very small hole through both and pin the connections with a tooth pick.

Yes on pinning joints. Either toothpicks during the gluing stage or the much easier carbon fiber after it dries.

 

[dhal22]

I have no idea how I would drill and pin and glue multiple joints AND keep a huge assembly together. I might pin the joints afterwards with thin carbon fiber rod.

And coping the joints won't add a month to the build, it will add 2 months. I ordered some Dremel rasps, hopefully that will speed the coping up.

Do you blame the finger you beat the hell out of it. The most important thing is that it hurts which means it still there and getting better. Glad to see you still building.

Kid's sports, college football, busy day but I got a couple more dowels somewhat coved. Still trying to come up with an efficient way to cove cut.

Coming along nicely. Sanding and cutting the sticks so fit is tedious job. I see you have a aluminum straight edge and aluminum angle to help things square and straight do the same thing with the small claps to keep it in place.

Are you on pins and needles like I was? Dang, that is such a beautiful twin. When you mentioned you were looking for one, I did a "bunch" of looking around, (as you know) and I found a couple. The more I looked, the more I liked and the more I liked, the more I wanted. The more I wanted, the more I realized...."ARE YOU FREAKING NUTS"? Seriously, I got way too many planes and motors now. LOL....

I can't wait to see the "arrival" photos... Good for you buddy.
