Hi all, Today I fitted both top wing skins. I have wing tanks, and now keeping my fingers crossed that the tanks are sealed. ( looking good) As per Dan Diehl instructions.
I have removed the old H/S stabiliser and made a new one with 12 inches more span and 1 inch more cord, and it weighs the same as the old heavy one, 7.5 lbs. as well as almost finished the elevator. I'm going to make a set brackets the bolt to the WAF so I can lift the plane off the ground, so I can play with the w&b the same as model aircraft. I visited the Cobra aircraft factory some time back, and they had their Cobra hanging from the roof on Cof G brackets, and modifying the engine mounts to adjust the W&B. worked great. So you can move everthing around and really see what it does to the actual balance of the aircraft.
