Building Aero3D Day 70 & 71: Push Rods and Rudder Hinges

Last Sunday Peter came over and we re-orientated ourself to my Aero 3D building project.  It has been a long time since last working on it!  After discovering where we left off we got the elevator push rod slot made and cut down to size (exciting to use my Dremmel).  Took quite a bit of … Building Aero3D Day 70 & 71: Push Rods and Rudder Hinges Read More »

Beauty Bay Golf Course, 1st Time

On July 13th, I got out to Beauty Bay for the first time and golfed 18 holes with Jordan. I really enjoyed the course and look forward to golfing there again.

Building Aero 3D Day 67: Fin Glued

Yesterday, did some more work on the Aero 3D. In the previous session looked at how the fin would go on and discovered I previously chopped off a piece of the trailing edge that I shouldn’t have. I was wondering how the fin would remain stable on the fuselage and this was in part due … Building Aero 3D Day 67: Fin Glued Read More »

Building Aero 3D Day 66: Horizontal Stabilizer

Yesterday got the horizontal stabilizer glued. This involved the following steps: Marking where the back of the stab resides on the fuselage when in the appropriate place Using measuring tapes from the trailing outter corners of the wing to the same corresponding place on each half of the stab Making sure to position is such … Building Aero 3D Day 66: Horizontal Stabilizer Read More »
