Righto then its been a while since I updated this build & it has in no way been off the bench.
Just lots of research to be done.
So yesterday I picked up my hull & frame acrylics from the plastic supplier.
Unfortunately they got some of it wrong.
Parts cut too big & too small.
The frame diamonds were cut twice the size as they should have been so I would have been building an 8'er
As much as I would like too I will leave that for crazy builder colleague Monsier Tox.
Hopefully I will pick up the corrected parts some time today & the other 2 hull parts they didn't even cut
These things happen & the plans could easilly be misread by people not knowing these subjects.
Heres a brief glimpse of what I did get.
You will notice the 6 squareish rectabgular parts that are the spacers between the frame.
These were cut too small.
They are copies of the original structures & look great other than their size.....
All the information about everything is coming soon.
I have people to aknowlege & thank when all the correct stuff is together.
The parts in the container are the engine mounts.
With all the work thats been done on the paterns by Charles with help by Rick & myself this thing should go together pretty tight.
This is the protortype that Charles Adams has over the last 6 months been drawing up in his limited spare time.
Rick Inglesby & myself have also helped in getting the dims as accurate as possible & I think this should show that once construction starts.
Just lots of research to be done.
