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

The main spars taper from the gull join, Mick...

bit more done today
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

[chris williams]

Here are the all the frames for the canopies, Mick...check your parts against them?

[mick a]

thanks Chris
will try that ,

[mick a]

Does anyone want a minimoa to finish off
have give up with it , just to difficult, seem to be having difficulty in every step
tailplane, rudder , inner wings and fuse all done
just canopy and outer wings to be finished

[chris williams]

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?
