Some progress

With PIK-26 Mini-Sytky..

Continued with wing & tail. Decided to cut some effort by replacing stick-structure of tail with sheet. Used soft sheet to keep weight penalty to minimum. It’s just faster. Then I did also wheel cover molds.

Nothing special. Just your average balsa building stuff. First pic of fuselage top which I did some time ago. Then wing halves, finally joining them.

And next canopy

Yep. It’s that time again. Now it is time to do 17% PIK-26 Minisytky canopy. It is rather small and there is no hurry. Schedule is next summer. But these blocks will take ages to dry so lets start early.

And then pressed together. I press everything to tabletop to ensure straightnes.
