Slingsby King Kite 1/4

Bonjour a tous,
Now I could cover the bottom of the fuselage. I came up with a sanding tool so I could clamp the panels, otherwise my fingers would get cramped

A batten attached to my worktop with a screw clamp , a piece of aluminum angle and two large spring clamps. The sanding went a bit better now

Fuselage and panel with glue , panel in position and secured with a hot iron.







After a few days it starts to become a fuselage



Next is the nose, lots of small panels and that will take some time....

Hi Vincent,

Very great job as usual !
A little question : have you use 0.6mm plywood for the complete fuselage ? And for the nose ?

Good evening.

Hi Sed,

Thanks for yout nice words .
Yes I am using 0.6 mm ply for the fuselage. I will cover the nose cone (pif?) with 0.6 mm veneer (thin, massive wood) so I can sand it without showing the dark glue.

Hallo Vincent,
sehr saubere Arbeit und das mit der Schleifhilfe ist eine gute Idee. Danke . Das werde ich auch ausprobieren.

Hello Vincent,

Your work on the panels is top It is really valuable to spend time on building tools when we see the accurate result !
