I think your vacuforming has been perfect so far so for the sake of a sheet of plastic go for it!

Experimentation has been my approach with the Lloyd (as well as winging it with the engineering as well!), and your vac-forming has gone well so far, so why not give it a try?

Here is the latest .... not as much done as I would like ..... working too many hours.... I'm thinking I may have to ask Des to move this build over to scratch built as I doubt I will ever finish it in time.... But I shall finish it before I even think about starting anything else! 

I added brass tubing to the lower fuselage to take steel pins which will be mounted into the lower wings with the correct dihedral ..... everything is just taped together for these photos.... fit needs a little tweaking here and there, but surprisingly not bad.... I'm actually pretty happy so far with how everything is coming together.

i guess you are pretty happy . its coming along great. i hate deadlines. thats why i never do the group builds. i dont like to feel obligated. it takes the fun out for me and makes me not want to work on said project. i think its gonna look great. even if it take 6 months. doesnt matter what matters is you have fun and you are happy with the result.cheers....scott

Thanks Scott....... you and I think alike ..... I don't mind the group builds as it gets me motivated, but with my job and the hours I work .... sometimes it is really hard to cross the finish line in time....

Thanks Steve & Gregory, here is the latest .... rough cut engine cut-out to make sure every thing fits as it should .... the engine has to go forward a few mm I will have to thing the forward cowling ... maybe all the way through the plastic.... I know what those two bumps on the forward cowling are for now.... LOL

Hello Ken:

This is really coming along nicely.  I noticed that the engine sits in its compartment evenly and centered.  Your work is thorough and well thought out. 

I know what you mean about deadlines.  Just keep working at your pace, you are making progress.  I like the group builds as it provides a focus and feedback.  If I get the project done by the deadline all the better.  This has been enjoyable to follow, so if it is here or scratchbuilt I will continue to check in from time to time and see how it is coming along.

Best

Perfect!! Its nice when a kit part fits perfectly into something you've created yourself - you know your research and measuring matches the "big guys"

The latest..... more work on the cowling..... which required more vacuforming....
