From what I know and have leant. Taking in mind I have just started mine. Take your time. Read the manual and ask lots of questions. Reason being every time you make a mistake and have to un pick rivets you compromise the hole. Be careful. Very careful. Does not matter how good you are they don't like being drilled out. Believe me I'm an expert I've drilled out lots. Lyndon

I'm no expert but all the time is in preparation. Eg getting it ready for primer. It's a lot of work. It makes a nice job if go this way. Remember don't prime painted surfaces as prime to top coat has as 36 hour window. So you will be priming on primer. Weight is not good. Depends on what you use but wet on wet will eliminate sanding the primer. Lyndon

Did you rub it flat dry or wet. Two pack rub it dry with a much corser paper than say acrylic. Should rub easy as. Two pack can be painted with much corser prep work Lyndon

My. Two cents. You can't paint without keying it. I used Brown 3m about 300 quite corse. Easy fast leaves a great key. Six hrs before painting wipe with metho. Use a two pack. finish is superb. I use a 1 mm nozzle hvlp touch up gun. Perfect for 90 percent and a little slow on the big stuff. Fine finish and you can keep the primer to minimum. Going to all that trouble worth another 5 mins work with two pack Just be careful not to loose your part numbers. Lyndon

Makes sense. Thanks Lyndon
-
Outer. Angles ??? Meaning the four corner longerons ???
-
Gunna have a go at mocking up the fuselage skins today on the ribs. Looks awkward. Any tips. Thanks Lyndon
-
Yep I have already fitted a5 rivets . Found that out pretty much on the first one Thanks Lyndon
-
Sorted. Thanks two points in front of the three ribs. Lyndon
-
Thanks. Looks like number four block goes in between the ribs and the control longeron. Will have another look. Lyndon
-
Then I seem to have one block left over. I have five of them. ??
-
Ribs ??? A question. Manual is a little vague. On the cables. One nylon block on the rear of each rib. 4 5 and 6. The a block on both sides of the longeron ??? Thanks Lyndon
-
Fantastic. Lazy using the net but for me to get that answer from manual would take a week. Thanks Lyndon
-
Outer Aldrin ???. I take it this is drilled when fitting on the wings. My manual shows a hole in it to bolt to the inner aleron ??? Thanks Lyndon
-
This way I think ??
-
Thanks. Save me trying to figure it out.
-
No worries. Cup of tea and I will have another look. If not A 4 will be fine ??? I read and if I'm correct. The alerons are staggered 16 mm. Eg not in line when fitted to the wings ??? Lyndon
-
I'm doing the alerons. The tip looks like it's done with a3 rivets. Can't seem to find them anywhere. Am I missing something or is it just a matter of getting some rivets. If so are these the only parts that require them so I know what quantity to get. Lyndon
-
Reg has advised it happens. Counter sunk rivets is the fix. I have also gently with a block of wood taken another 1mm of the leading edge in the middle. All good now. Thanks Lyndon
-
A better pic. You can see the leading edge to. Sharp as there in no rib. This makes it protrude Lyndon
-
Leading edge of the elevator is not straight. No ribs in in the center so on the edge it's wide and in the center it's not as wide thus its about a 4 mm woof. A fix anyone ??? Lyndon
-
Under side. Either the elevator or stabilizer has a woof in the middle Lyndon
-
Thanks Lyndon
-
Snap. My pivot s had the same part number Today I also discovered that I had a 50 50 chance and also got em wrong
-
Hard to see how close it is. The radius is quite sheltered ???
