ruzlkampf 183 Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Whoop-dee-dooo! Thanks for following along everybody. Yep, I've got the 'Texas Battle-cry' of "Just get er done" going on right now Tex. Put about 2-1/2hrs. into this tonight before I had to call a pizza-break and stop. I'm liking this new design. Only got time for some short snippets for explanations as I go along, so I won't be doing too much jabbering. Started with some longerons applied to the sides and bottom before adding a sheet of styrene to the top for some sheer strength and lining things up. Here's the bottom; And the top; Link to post Share on other sites
ruzlkampf 183 Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Going for light weight here, as this is all behind the main gear. More stringers for strength and something to glue the bottom skin to. Link to post Share on other sites

ruzlkampf 183 Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Whoohoo! Upsweep on the burner looks OK, and the length is right on. Link to post Share on other sites
ruzlkampf 183 Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Skinning the bottom with yet more scrap styrene. I'm refusing to spend another dime acquiring parts for this, so it's recycling time. Link to post Share on other sites
ruzlkampf 183 Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 All glued together with a few more laminated skins of styrene to fill things out, which will minimize the amount of putty I'll need. Link to post Share on other sites
