| Dont know so much about CNC cutting Grahame but your formers look fine to me,remember those awful die-crushed things that Top-Flite and such used to churn out ? nothing to beat neat hand fretted ply parts nicely sanded,the internal bits take the time dont they ?
Well you are really progressing well, and I can see that you must have given the front end equal thought as to the most ideal method of construction,fuel tanks are always a right pain especially as they often leak and go wrong as well,good access is always needed.
Regarding Liteply,it is fine for some jobs but where accurate alignment is needed as here,the LP tends to need extra stiffening,which sort of defeats the whole exercise,I agree.
Nice work as always Grahame,you are building up a first class record of your project.
The gyro must be an heading lock type I would imagine,keeps the nose straight as a die into wind,the wonders of modern technology,we have enough to think about when flying our tricky models and these devices certainly help,although having said that,and knowing what a shopping trolley my own Parnall Elf is on take off, I have never used one myself.
I think that 'Greatplanes' did one ?
