Hi,
Very neat project, would love to make one in my spare time. I'm curious how you will finish the shape of the fuselage, cockpit forward. Will the cockpit and tail be welded on, or additional shaping of air formed fuse? Side note, the guy that taught me about airplane maintenance, had a plastic sink in the corner of the hangar, that was broken in several pieces. When I asked "what caused this" he showed me an oil tank from a Beech 18 that blow up during a pressure test. He used compressed air and when the factory seam let go, it took out the sink and thank God, not his hands. Air in a tank is compressible, water in a tank is not.... Nice work, B

I would be totally happy using this method again on a similar project, but only on aluminium. After all, it’s a similar process I’ve done to dented Moto-Cross bike exhausts over the years and companies sell kits to do that exact job. Cheers, Matt |

Tested the stand today for balance and it works a treat. The Spit rotates beautifully with lightest touch! I’m going to test it all tomorrow out in the fresh air. Fingers crossed 🤞

Chocks Away!
One mile to the right - as the crow flies - is Perranporth Aerodrome. During WW2 this was an R.A.F. base! The Kung Fu school i train at is housed in the original squadron briefing room! Last edited by Stretch; 11-10-2020 at 06:06 AM. |

Looks great Matt.
Did you think of adding the tail wing?

G’day! Cheers! I’ve no plans for a tail wing. I kinda like the flow of the fuselage without any excrescences. Besides, as it‘a technically a weather vane a tail fin might disrupt its movement... maybe...
thanks, Matt |
