SuspensionI tried to start the engine, but it did not fire up! Then I thought about the reason ... of course, the ignition wires are missing
So I added an isolation plate and 14 copper wires.
A final view of the engine in daylight. On the back (between engine and wall) I added a brass piece for securing the axle. It runs now very smooth, without too much allowance.
I glued all engine related parts together and mounted that unit to the fuselage. After that I added a PE strut in the middle.
With the long cowling it looks more elegant now, like a racing machine!
OMG, there is a gap!
Don't worry, that is intended
I don't liked the view into the cockpit because I made the wood color a bit to uniform regarding seat and framing. So I made a cushion and added this before mounting the cockpit.
I made washers the same way as on my Albatros Dr.I and added them to the axle. Those washers are the limiters for the springs of the suspension, which I made from stretched sprue.
The next step will be the rigging.
Cheers,
Frank
