Moving on to the canopy fairing...Twin strips of 3 x 6mm spruce are laminated together to follow the curve of the cockpit aperture

Re: HABICHT QUARTER SCALE
Thats a great photo tutorial on a complex canopy section.
Each component is not complex in its own right, but together they are !
thanks for sharing that with the community Chris.
looking forward to seeing the finished model and the test flights.

Re: HABICHT QUARTER SCALE
It's worth noting that it's much easier to ply sheet the canopy framework in two parts, with a join at the front/centre. (It only falls apart when there's a window in the middle!)

Re: HABICHT QUARTER SCALE
Once the framework is complete, it can be rendered flush with the fuselage with a dose of filler...(Always remembering to run the knife through the join before the filler completely hardens!)

Re: HABICHT QUARTER SCALE
We can move on now to the wings...1st job is to make up the bent TE for the inner panel. This is 1.5mm spruce laminated over the jig support with 5mm balsa... Then the gull supports can be pinned to the board. Also, the wing joiner box components can be readied...
