Jantar 2a fuz
Posted: 11 Jun 2019, 13:29
Hi all,
It been ages since Iv dropped in!
Just acquired this Viking fuz of the jantar2a 1/4 scale 202 inch span.
I can well remember the adverts for these in radio modeller years ago and couldn't resist taking a "punt" on this,,,,alas no canopy or frame but I'm sure a suitable canopy could be sourced from sarik as for the canopy frame I guess it's about time I lost my glass fibre and resin virginity and mess about a bit!
It's a future project though as any day now my wife and I will be off to France to collect the keys too our new/ very old house (taking a year off to commence restoring the house) but I have some questions for those that may know.
What resin would have been used "back then" there's no odour to it inside (long since lost I suppose) my guess is it's over thirty years old now! I probably need to know so I don't mess up when I start gluing things inside as I don't want new resins conflicting with the original , not sure what wing section is but the plan shows only root and tip and it's obviously identical to the fuz at the root (wing plan is for the 202 inch span all built up!) not sure a built up wing is worth all the effort but I know of no one locally (Essex) who could do good cores for me and besides right now I have enough packing to do without long wings!
