Looking good lads.

I hope they get this close during your Red Bull aerobatic routine.

The L-13 Blanik looks fantastic and I hope you finish it in time, not long to go now.

cheers chris

Nice work guys. I cant get over the amount of detail in the back end of the fuse!

Gunny11 · Dec 20, 2011, 01:16 AM

I must say... What an outstanding job! I like the rudder connection to the servo idea too.

Nice work

Gunny

Thanks Gunny. I'm sure I've seen it in a mag somewhere.

Got a pile of servo wire in the post today, so now I can fit the wing leads and finish the structural work.

How did you go with the canopy plastic Shane?

Yer good mate it should be here tomorrow.

I will look at posting some pics tonight of my l-13 ready for servo cover and trim and canopy.

Shane:Who is nearly done with this baby

Been doing some minor shopping.

These goodies will eventually become the upholstered portions of the cockpit.

The pencil cases will become the sidewalls, the socks the seat cushions.

Hopefully...........

No slop here Views: 123 Rudder fitted Views: 90 Rudder & tailplane fitted Views: 164 a few prominent details in the tail area were added - 2 access panels and a huge repair strap that is fitted to the full size aircraft that I am replicating. Still need to add lots of rivets & screws
