Roughing in the shapes of the wing pylon. This will help me figure out the cockpit "roll cage" support structure while still providing room for a detailed interior. I've made the plug that inserts into the cockpit poka-yoke to aid with proper alignment - same for the wing panel attachment.
I think magnets are a good solution for the hatches, canopy, and rear cone, but I'm wondering about the weight of the finished wings when fabricated from a buildup of sheet/cardstock and laminated with resin details. I have no delusion that I'm going to land any KoolShade, so I'm resolved to creating a resin-printable facsimile. Any advice on finished wing weights? Should I stay away from using magnets on the wings and pylons and go with a mechanical fastener?
Thanks!
