Night Hog Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) I know there have been several builds detailing how to fix the Cowling/Fuselage "step" but I have not been able to fine them. Any help would be appreciated. Thx Dick Edited March 4, 2020 by Night Hog BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggTim Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I think Tolga addressed it with this build: Dave Morrissette, dennismcc and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick K Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) This was my fix for my "Slick Chick" build. Good luck and have fun: THE DOCTOR IS IN carefully removing the engine mount after fuselage is glued and cured, the one piece canopy (I'm using the two piece option for both final builds) is very handy to protect the pit during surgery... using 1.6mm styrene angle 3 pieces are cut and glued, port and starboard sides are easy to position however, the critical bottom piece is dropped 1mm. initial test fit (with complete engine parts) shows an acceptable fit... a final test fit of engine mount then... add a .05mm styrene card placed to recapture space lost from the "saw off" and give the repositioned engine mount some glue area... engine mount positioned and glued... styrene card shows "saw off" recovery... and the final fit is good...

Dennis7423 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Exact same fix I did on mine. Took about a half hour for the whole procedure. Worked a treat. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
