Gone building MAD !

Post by Wavemeter »

On the kitchen table at the moment is my Ben Buckle Buccaneer. Two and a half days in . That wing is the most enjoyable wing build ever . Weirdly you construct the spars first then insert and twist the ribs vertical. Result is superbly quick and accurate. However I’m going to sheet the centre section. This American design is very meaty construction. Massive balsa sections - just look at that tailplane :o
