JTest-EZ Progress report

[JTest]

G'day

 

The weather has again turned too cold to work without heat in the hanger. I have picked-up where I left off on Chapter 11 in the warm room.

 

I installed the elevators and drilled the canard for the NC-3s and NC-3As. I took a couple of pictures of the layup after the flox was put into the openings to hold the elevators.

 

I welcome constructive comments...

 

Thanks for looking;

G'day

 

I got back from a month in Oz and managed to get to the hanger over the Christmas weekend. I covered the canard tips tops. I have a couple of pictures.

G'day

 

I also managed to start the nose. I used a belt sander to sand the foam to shape. I have some pictures of the solid foam nose.

 

Then I took a hand saw and cut out the inside... I have a few pictures also.

 

I welcome any constructive comments or ideas.

 

Thanks for looking and Happy Holidays!

Where is the nose gear assembly??

[JTest]

G'day

 

I have the nose gear assembly sitting under the warm room work bench. I needed to get the Canard out before I can move the Tub into the room due to space issues.

 

Yes, I know I did the last part of the Chapter first.... I may regret it I know, but it was also kind of fun to see what it will look like...

 

I wanted to work on cold area stuff (hanger temps around 40 degrees F) so I worked on the nose shell. Yeah, I may need to make some mods to it, but it is only foam and easy to work with. I hope to get the gear installed in the New Year!

 

Cheers!
