Another Day, Another New Model

Another full day at the Northant's Zenith Factory.

Good to have another pair of hands on the job, many thanks to Jon Whittle!!

Mike - please look a little more interested...

Could it be sub 2.2KG??

All the components on the scales excluding nose counter weights and keel, I think we will be close to the 2.2kg mark which is a significant saving on the last model.

We are due to make another model this coming weekend, we will keep updating.

Thanks for now.

Getting lighter!!

We are getting there!!

No bad for consistency, only 1g difference between each wing panel.

All the servos and wiring harness have been moulded into the wings ready, this will reduce the disruption of airflow on the under side and make finishing the model easier.

Another new model

Some images below of before de-moulding and finished wings with flashing removed...very nice!

One in the oven!

The wings were joined together yesterday complete with the servos moulded in.

Currently undergoing post cure and should be de-moulded tomorrow, when I will update with some photos.

All for now.

Update

Christmas is now over and I have successfully defeated the dreaded man flu so it's all systems go!

Back in the workshop today to prepare ready for joining the wings together, either later tonight or tomorrow.

Updates to follow.

More Tailplane Pictures

Just a few more pictures of the tailplane as requested, there is still a little tidying up to do at the tips and edges but is good so far.

This is a great result and a 10% weight saving on the last one.
