Re: Breguet Fauvette
Starting to look like the finished article now:
Fuselage painted rattle can white and red:
Wheel fitted:
Tail end detail:
Canopy glued to frame and cockpit detailing finished:
Overall view of model, rigged to roughly ascertain CoG and estimate any additional nose weight needed:
It looks like I will be over the design weight, I estimate a finished AUW of 5lbs giving me a wing loading of 16.5 ozs sq. ft. but I'm hopeful that with the modified wing section she'll fly fine.

Re: Breguet Fauvette
Looks lovely, Stephen...I shouldn't worry too much about the wing loading as the HQ section is generally very tolerant of the higher values...

Thanks Chris, I was hoping that would be the case with the wing section - it's nice to have a get out of jail card!chris williams wrote: ↑06 Feb 2020, 10:16 Looks lovely, Stephen...I shouldn't worry too much about the wing loading as the HQ section is generally very tolerant of the higher values...

Re: Breguet Fauvette
Finally, it's finished!
Frise aileron:
Non-scale door type spoiler:
Canopy hinged to one side (scale) and secured with magnets on the other:
All graphics supplied by our very own Barry Cole:
With the CoG slightly forward of the position marked on the plan she comes in at a little under 5.5 lbs giving me a wing loading of a touch under 18ozs sq. ft.

Re: Breguet Fauvette
She looks very nice Stephen.
I’m sure the maiden will go well.

Congratulations, you have made a lovely job of the Fauvette. I hope you have a eventless maiden flight.
