Combine Friday Fun with Balsa Wood?

[@IansRCExploits]

A nice bit of Balsa fettling Chris!! Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build, especially the wings 😀👍

[@DadsRCHangar]

Thanks Ian, it’s certainly taking shape, but still plenty to do, looks like it will be Christmas be time she is ready 🎄. Have a great week ahead to you both. 🫡

Coming on at a pace now, Chris. I really admire you doing this 'live'.

[@DadsRCHangar]

Thanks Gina, yup, she moving along now. I like to document the build, you never know it may help someone. The Harrier a must have in the Hangar. Looking forward to see your Spit building. 🫡

Coming along Chris! This is going to be an awesome jet...

[@DadsRCHangar]

Thanks Adam, she taking shape, I hope people don’t get board me building every week. 😁

I always put some little blocks on the inside of the airframe Chris to screw the servo screws into and soak the area with thin Cyno once I have screwed them in obviously then remove and soak the area with thin cyno and leave it to dry good to go 👌 coming along great Chris 😉💪

[@DadsRCHangar]

Well I think I will be able to glue some small blocks or a thin layer of ply, can do this through the servo holes. I was thanking that as the servos are lying on the ground of the balsa, this should help the servo not to move under torque. But I will still strengthen them😀. Have a fun week ahead with your build 🫡

Chris looking great, mistake? When working with balsa there aren't any mistakes, just straying from the plans. Jeff in LA USA

[@DadsRCHangar]

Like your style Jeff, I guess we could say I am putting my own stamp on the design 😂. Have a great week ahead buddy. 🫡

[@joepellissier2091]

Looking good. I think I would’ve put a thin plywood backer behind the balsa where the servals were mounted. Keep up the good work.

[@DadsRCHangar]

I can still do this, I will use the servo holes and glue in, I was thinking of doing that, but forgot 😀. Thanks for your input Joe, you have a great week ahead. 🫡

[@joepellissier2091]

@ I would also add blocks for the servo screws. Balsa blocks reinforced with CA in the holes would be fine.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Nice progress, its turning into quite a little structure 👍

[@DadsRCHangar]

It is Cliff, be great if I stop scratching and denting the body 😂. Will be so much filler, she will not get off the ground. Have a fun building week Cliff. 🫡

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

[@DadsRCHangar]

More master builder secrets 😁

[@MarkCroucherRC4fun]

You can lift the dints out of the balsa by wetting them the wood swells up when you do. 😊
