kkarlsen Posted December 14, 2019 Author Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Rigging done. Man that was a lot of threading!!! Went very well though, no 'incidents' or 'accidents'. I made the wings detachable, that made it all a lot easier. I really can't believe that I'm almost finished with the Aeromarine build, I'm so proud of 'her'.

Trak-Tor Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Wow, that's gorgeous! I can't even make any jokes about it anymore... Are you saying the top wings are detachable? I guess you can't remove all the wings with the rigging on, can you? Juraj kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Wow Kent, a truly unique and amazing build and you should be rightly very proud. Would be interesting to see her sat side by side with a Felixstowe. Regards. Andy Edited December 14, 2019 by monthebiff kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My assumption is each pair of wings separates from the cabane and central part of the wing. That way you could rig the cabane and centre, and each wing pair separately @kkarlsen??

Richard But there's also rigging going from the outer wings to the forward fuselage and tailplanes, so I can't see an obvious way that you could detach the wings without messing that up.

Troy Molitor Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Exactly the same comments that everyone else has already mentioned. Simply stunning build here Kent. I love those massive wings with rigging. The wow factor is evident throughout your entire build. Well done. Troy kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Having rigged my DH.2 in stages, any simplicity you can create helps. So, no - you can't put all the rigging wires in place. You could rig the bays of the wings though And I'm guessing - only Kent knows @kkarlsen? Richard kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 What you do is just so over the top, Kent. This is remarkable. I can't believe how square the wings are. With their length I was sure there would be some drop. Congratulations on another wonderful build.

kkarlsen Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Thank you guy's for your kind comments. This has been fun... here is the solution to 'the mystery of the 'detachable' wings': The six wires that hold the wings in place are only fitted with a hook-like turnbuckle ending... Much like the real thing, Aeromarines stowed for winter.
