Tailplane #2

Tailplane number two out of the moulds, we are starting to perfect the technique, this a few grams heavier but is considerably stronger, has stiffer elevators, better depth of colour and a perfect surface finish, a reasonable trade off for the extra couple of grams?
Strapped to the all carbon pre-preg fuselage you get the impression of what it will finally look like.

The UD carbon arrives next week from R&G Composites for the wing spars so the wing lay up can be finished.
I am now the proud owner of a DEWALT band saw so the shear webs for the spars can be made with ease.

Watch this space for more updates next week.

Happy landings, Harry.
