Re: minimoa mo2a -chris williams plan and cliff evans kit
thanks Chris
will make a note of that
does the main spar still taper from the wing join (12mm-6mm) or does that start from 13 as well ?
thanks again

starting on the canopy , but seem to have gone wrong again !!!
the formers don’t seem to fit at all , 20mm short in width , has anyone got any ideas or methods how to get an even curve
to match front former
have tried to copy front and cut down - didn’t work
any ideas greatly appreciated
thanks mick
pics might help explain

It has to be said Mick, the MO2a canopies are the most complicated canopies I've ever had to make (and then you have to paint them)...

hi Chris
i know what you mean, managed the front section and rear section - just a cannot get the middle to fit at all, either to small too big or wrong curve
it’s a lovely plane but just loosing the will to finish it ....
hopefully will get the enthusiasm back soon, as love to build but seem to be doing everything 3/4 times
OH the joys of modelling ..... lol

Can you post a pic of the part that doesn't fit next to the place it's supposed to fit?
