Re:Ziroli Corsair Fuse Sheeting - 2007/02/20 21:32
I have completed sheeting the fuselage with 1/8 inch thick sheets, now the sanding begins. I used a combination of strip planking and 6 inch panels(two 3" sheets glued together)The 6 inch sheets were 18 inches long. Any longer than that and they were too difficult to form to the complex curve of the fuse. I will post some photos tomorrow.
Next I will be finishing the sheeting of the bottom of the wing. The wing gets 3/32 inch sheets. The material list with the instructions provides a sheet count to order by. apparently the sheet count provided is for a partialy sheeted wing, not the fully sheeted version I am doing, SO I ran out of planking. Not to worry, Penn Valley had what I needed and I picked up a new Eflite motor and controller while I was in the neighborhood.

I have decided to install the elevator servo in the tail of the plane. I do not think it will upset the balance point too much but we will see. Because I do not have retracts my weight will be lighter than a full scale setup.
