1/3 Scale Ka3 - Another one! With a difference :)
« Reply #15 on: November 19, 2012, 12:02:47 PM »
A little bit more work done on Sunday!
More wood stick glued to the fuselage!



Fuselage is then put on its back.. For more wood sticks!





Finally, the fuselage is rigid enough (well, a lot rigid!) and the formers supports are cut. This will also allow more room to glue the keels for the skid.








All glued with Epoxy...
Then, time to glue more.. sticks!  :!:  :P





And the fuselage is now here, almost completed (yep.. more sticks!! and a nose cone...)





And of course, could not wait to put the wings on to have a look  :D



Friday, I received my plywood for the wings, so I can start the sheeting  :D
I should have a bit more time this week to work on it, so I hope to be able to make good progress!
Left to do :

Nose / Tail cone for the fuselage
Wing sheeting and ailerons.
V Tail.

So not much before I start to think of the covering and servos, and so far, on track for a first flight soon!
No issues with the kit so far, pretty happy with that too  :D
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

Unrig the Ka3, leave the living-room and go back to the workshop!!!

Good job.
