Pics tell everything..

Start of covering.

Selected 2 color theme with change at carbon-rod

And current total weight is 110g. That is without final assembly of tail parts and radio installation

And it looks like this..

This time I will use pull-pull-rudder

Rudder servo

And this is how it looks.

Then to elevator

And second day of this (hopefully) short project.

Combined weight at this stage is 77g.

Then let’s cut wing into pieces. Nervous.

And after cutting let’s glue it together again.

And more joints.

Everything piled up for nice photo

Everything piled up for second nice photo

Just wanted to build something quick as I have not been able to build anything more impressive for a while. Dish of day is Nakki II. Which is translated easily to Sausage II. This has been briefly mentioned in this blog some time ago. See here.

This design uses ‘perussiipi’ which is basic wing manufactured by local vendor from styrofoam. I do dislike styrofoam, but in this case it is ok, as this is sort of ‘classic finnish modelling stuff’.

I will compile extremely short build log into this blog.

Parts and plans

Plan and parts removed from supports

Fuselage back part glued together

Motor support glued together, 2mm coctail sticks used as guides

Fuselage sides with their servo supports

Tail skid and rudder glued to fus. 2mm sticks again used as support

Front fuselage bottom glued together

Canopy structure assembled

top of canopy glued to place

Basic wings sanded lightly

Marking centerline of basic wing

I cut cardboard templates for cutting lightening openings.

Wing lightening openings done

Saved 9g !! so it is totally useless, although fun to make

Making groove for carbon flatrod

Carbon flatrod glued to place. I used masking tape to prevent smearing of glue

Wing is being supported using 3mm carbon flatrod.

It looks rather neat.

Wings assembled together
