This one presents again the Abominable Resin Man, but quite
clean photoetching -although with many blocked holes (included the bigger ones
trough which the vertical structural member passes) that had to be drilled at
the cost of two tiny drill bits (the metal is tenacious)- and the instructions
with truncated captions.
Again as in the very similar Lilienthal glider posted before
I opted for very thin metal rigging instead of the filament rigging that warped
my first model and had to be removed. The structure is simply not rigid enough to
remain stable under the tension of stretched monofilament.
Building can proceed after the mandatory cleaning and it is
not very demanding. The flying surfaces should be covered first. I used the
kit's covering material. Be sure to curve the wing as per images (and photos)
and provide adequate dihedral.
"Building" is not the issue here, but the cleaning, preparation and painting of the figure, covering and trimming of the
flying surfaces, not to mention the rigging. In those steps is where most of
the time and attention to detail will be spent.
Another interesting Project, congratulations. Armando Gil.
