Two more windows completed today. Sweet Jesus, I only have one more left!
0

Keeping the windows in a straight line. My tip for this is to get the bottom of the window fit first, then work your way up either sides. Never re-adjust the botttom.

Inside view of how the widows fit. I left the flange on the inside for three reasons, a) it will act as a depth stop ensuring each window protrudes the same, b) the flange will make an obvious place to glue the window in place and c) the flange will give the canopy a little more support.

In preparation to removing the top portions of formers F3, F4, F5 and F6, I thought it wise to add structure to the bottoms of these formers for additional reinforcement. 1/4" x 3/8" basswood lengths were glued.

I've marked the tops of the formers that need to be removed with blue tape to make sure I don't accidentally take the wrong ones out!

A small section of balsa tri-stock was added for additional support at each wing mount block.

1/4" tri-stock was also added to each former that had its top removed.

An opening was made in the right hand side of the fuselage which will serve as the rear baggage door that the full scale Bonanza had. This scale feature will be used to hide all of the electronic switches and jacks that would normally be found on the outside of the model.

Removing the stringers and sheeting from the side will create a weak point in the fuselage. The 3/16" thick birch plywood which will be further reinforces will add back structure and make it stronger than before I made the opening.

The baggage box has been reinforced with 1/4" tri-stock. The addition of this cutout didn't weaken the structure in the least, in fact it's much stronger than now!

.032" aluminum sheet stock was cut to fit. I will cut out for the Jacks and switches later when I know how many I will need. The aluminum sheet is removable.

The cover was fabricated and trimmed to fit. The cover is three pieces of wood that have been laminated together using epoxy. The inner and outer pieces are 1/32" birch plywood with a 1/16" balsa center. The lamination follows the shape of the fuselage as it is not flat. It fits extremely well. I'm still undecided as to use magnets to hold the cover in place or whether to use two hinges along with a magnet to keep the cover closed.

Time to build the dorsal fin. It all starts by cutting out 1/16" sheet balsa to create the dorsal fin base.

The base is fitted around the leading edge of the fin and glued in place.

Tapered balsa stock is cut and glued forming the dorsal fin's leading edge.

The plans specified 1/16" ply dorsal fin fillet. I substituted it with 1/4" thick balsa. Too much filler would have to be used if I had used the thinner fillet. I understand filler is sometimes a necessary evil, but I do my best to limit its use.
0
2020/01/04 13:29:28
For a better fit, I matched the shape of the fin's leading edge onto the vertical part of the fillet.

The sides of the dorsal fin have been sheeted using 1/16" balsa and fitted to the fin. I will use a small amount of filler will to blend it all together after I'm done sanding/shaping.

The dorsal fin is done. I love the lines that it gives to the fuselage.

Time to install the tail cone. I glued two lite plywood vertical mounts on the back. This is where the tail cone will get screwed to.
