Scale The Red Eagle rebooted

[Snoopy1]

Just really appreciate you doing it. If it is my choice as much detail as possible. But do what suits you and that will be great.
It’s the fine details that makes us all better builders.

I’m with Snoopy on this one. Whatever works for you.

 

[TonyHallo]

I love details.

Here we go folks.
The most important thing to any build regardless of the builders skill is the table and surface. It has to be absolutely plumb, level, straight, whatever word you prefer, and for me clean also. This table has seen a lot since it was last used for building so I not only triple checked for plum but also scraped anything I could feel or see off then ran over it with a sander. It is covered with plastic and ready to go!

The horizontal is needed for the fuse build so I cut the tail feathers from the tree's and started cutting some wood. Pic 1 is the tail feather ply pieces. Pic 2 is the associated leading and trailing edges cut to length. And pic 3 is them clued on one side, they are built one side at a time.

That side has it's balsa strips over the ribs on and now the other sides L/T edge's are on.

Oh yea, you were there. This time will be a little different, not as much, and a whole lot of better... lol

The rest of the balsa rib strips are on and the phenolic tubes cut. The fin did not get balsa strips, because of prior issues with bowing during covering I used pine instead.
