Light blue & DSG added to the build today.
She's moving forward but I'm not sure if it's fast enough to have her ready by Saturday, for the Expo.
I want, no, I need a tutorial on wing fold details. That is some mighty fine work!
Thanks, LJ, but there's really nothing to it.
You look at photo's of the desired wing-fold type (S2E/G Tracker, in this case) until you start seeing it in your sleep. Then you cut your wings at the desired location & trace around all 4 cut faces onto thin styrene & cut. Remember to cut a millimetre-or-so inside the trace lines & bevel the cut faces of the wings because you want the plate to sit inside the wing, not on the end of it. You may wish to do 2 of each at this stage, so you have your inner plates sorted before cutting one of each into the internal wing framework - or you can do what I did, which is cut smaller pieces & add them as required. The rest is working out where the electrics, & fold & locking hydraulics go.
Seriously, it's more about research than anything else ... & having the balls to go blind & insane trying to replicate something similar in plastic.
