Radi C ntr lled - Radio Controlled Soaring Digest

The original plans are for a gas model
and had this cut-out up front to allow for
engine installation. I blindly traced and
cut the template and only afterwards
realised that it isn’t required. So I
decided to utilize it as the battery bay
and made a little cover for it. See the
photo at the bottom right of the previous
page. Makes for a convenient location for
lead should I need to add any to adjust
the CG.
In the photo to the right, the spar has
been glued to the bottom of the wing.
The leading edge fold needs to be
creased only (not cut) and when the wife
wasn’t looking I nicked her rotary pizza
cutter for the job... Worked a charm!
And who can resist the mockup when the
parts start taking shape?
