6th SCALE TYPE 43 SKYLARK 3

The canopy interior will be sealed off when completed, so the interior needs to be painted and the bits and pieces inside well secured to avoid them coming loose after one of my landings...

Now to make the fairing on the wing...

[chris williams]

Motley's version is coming along nicely...

[chris williams]

That's about it, then, for the airframe...

It’s a joy to see it all come together. Thanks for sharing.

[chris williams]

No problem, Roger, let's hope she flies...! (Motley's wondering that, too)

The Skylark is completely covered with HK film, the only paint involved is brushed on inside the canopy.

Here are the stats:

Scale: 6th
Span: 3.05m
Wing section: HQ 35/12
A.U.W. 4.7lbs

As a matter of historical interest, this is my 50th glider since I retired, less than 11 years ago...

[Cliff Evans]

Wow, 50 since retirement! Well done that man.

Chris has written an excellent new article on covering.

50 models over 11 years is 4.5 models a year.. Ye gads!

At least you didnt waste the time playing golf...

And I think we all appreciate the effort you go to in documenting many of your builds.

Watching your progress is always motivational and a learning experience.
