Thanks Bjarne, Rick, GazzaS, Richie, Terri and Stephen! Your support is very much appreciated!
You might have seen that I didn't use any micro tubing with that turnbuckle on the undercarriage. I didn't really want anythin like that there, even though I've been shopping at Bob's Buckles superstore, so I simply twisted the monofilament and added some super glue. Looks good I think.
Rigging is on its way + some small additions like the machine gun... first a hole lot of eyelets were installed, but only at one end of each wire this time. I thought I'd try and do without the eyelets on the bottom wing. I know that they won't be very visible in the end, but I thought that just a piece of Bob's micro tubing would look more like a terminal that an eyelet and a piece of tubing. Maybe it wont make any difference at all?!
This means however that there are a lot of lines glued straight into the different attachement points in different places. So it's a hairy Pup right now...
Some places needed specially made terminals. This is for the wires going from the underside of the tailplane to the very end of the fuselage. I simply used a flatnosed plier to crimp the middle section of a piece of 0,5mm tubing and then glued it to the underside.
The same method was used for the attachement point on top of the fin. Only here I used a ruler to push down on the piece of tubing, as I needed a narrower centre section. It was then drilled through and attached on that piece of copperwire you can see.
Last thing for today was to arm the aircraft. First some ammunition for the machine gun and then attaching the gun to the aircraft.
Tomorrow I will start with the cross bracing wires. I had to paint up some more monofilament first. It's drying now.
Take care!
