@johnb, @lis, @fiveten, @lgardner, @gblair, @chinesegeorge, @j-healy, @skyraider3d and “silent” followers, it has been 3 months since last update – apologies! (time has been one factor, another the exhausts – I will need to order some E-0 parts and use the PE exhaust from that AM kit)
Balance!
The balance-horns gets modified and the modified cooler is installed
The special Emils did have an aerodynamic fairing to the aileron balance
-
1. perhaps a little more is needed to make a straight edge?
-
1. kit pitot is a bit large.
I simply fill in the plastic ones with a bit of LqS (Liquified styrene) and sand to shape.
During my efforts to modify the oilcooler, the entire unit moved inwards due to all the glue and LqS
-
1. yes - still need to make fairings
2. slats installed in open position. Usually they were closed as soon as possible after landing, so perhaps it has just arrived at the event?
It is now simply too narrow and too high, so a lot of cutting and persuading was necessary.
next up I expect the exhausts have arrived – in the meantime the radiators and flaps will be installed. I sincerely hope to make another update before another 3 months has passed.
