Brief Description: Rudder trimming
|
|
New Fastback kit and cowling arrived from Showplanes this week, so Ive got some work to do at last! After unpacking it all, and checking the inventory, it was time to start... First job was to pull the lower front rib out after removing all of the rivets, then cut off a 5 degree wedge from in front of the spar, to the leading edge. Tight squeeze getting the rib back in,Match drilling, cleaning edges and dimpling the skin ready for new rivets. All completed, sanded down smooth, and ready for touching up the primer. It was nice to do some building again! Aluminium is so much more pleasant to work with than fibreglass and filler.
Wings, fuselage, finishing kit and firewall forward kit is ready to load onto a ship and shoukd be here in two weeks!
