Almost!

Doing all the sheeting this week.
Finally received my covering!

Last night, glued the battery support, and rudder servo.
I have a few photos, but so far, nothing really interesting to see :wink:

wow, I like this very much, your kits are great. what are you supposed to price on the model? and by the way, my cup of tea starts to cease

I've sold my broken KA3. :oops:

Any progress

Hi Conny,

Sorry, late reply again! Catching up with the Internet stuff now

Did some progress indeed, and the covering of the glider is getting really near now!

Finally managed to design some good working airbrakes. Happy with these ones as they are working great! They will be used in all my future projects for sure

That mean now, I can finish the wings (ribs cap to be glued) and start the covering

Fuselage is still waiting for the steel cables for the rudder, and ready to be covered too. Hopefully, I will receive them this week.
If all goes well, ready to go this week end / next week

Oh, and some shots of it from last week:

Hi Conny,

Sorry for the late reply.
Kit cost? So far, don't know, but will hopefully be less than 300 euros. This will mainly depend of the cost to produce the canopies (ordered a test one, and that alone was 70 euros! :!: :!: )

Anyway, still at the covering stage, but no real rush to do the first flight as the weather here is really bad! (a storm a week pretty much... :!: ), but getting there!

Fred · « **Reply #52 on:** January 30, 2014, 14:55:56 PM »

And back to the build!
Covering well on its way. All yellow

Photos this week end hopefully, if the storm coming towards us keep us alive! :!: :!:

Cheers Andrew

Still moving, but can't take photos outside :!: :!: Damn weather! (storm again :!: )

Canopy frame is now done (brass), but I have an issue with my covering!! :evil:
The back is white, so when I stick the covering on top on itself, a white line is showing :!: :!:
Fine for the wing, as the joints are underneath, but for the fuselage, this is another story! :!:

Ah well... :cry:

Fred · « **Reply #55 on:** February 20, 2014, 16:38:59 PM »

Just a proof that things are moving!

Looks good from a distance!

Not to self.. Never plastic covering again! Tried to take some shortcuts on the finishing, I should have gone for Diacov + paint! :!: :!:
Ah well, If I like it, I ill recover it properly

I try all I can to have it finished for the Glide in now... But the Queue of gliders is accumulating already on the workbenches :!:
