Building material:

5 sheets (maybe less )
2sheets poster board

Loctite spray adhesive

describing the work
as you can see the fuselage frame is a box and rib construction then skinned in poster board I used lightweight spackle to fill the gaps in the over lapping skin. the motor cailling is laminated DTFB with posterboard on the outside

UPDATE 02/12/1015



the painted plane














UPDATE 02/02/20015 The wing construction is the basic flitetest method the wing spar is tapered from 1/2in to 1/4 in the servo are tucked back in the wing and it is a razor back version I haven't decided on a paint yet





so this is my second entry in the scale build off I always wanted a P47 so I started on this little jug wind span is 42"in and is a little over 30"in long the designe is my own the construction is a box fuse with rib on the out side then it is going to be skinned in poster board I will be using a power pod but I think it will be glued in and will not be swappable here is the progress of my work


UPDATE: I've got all the templates for the skin made and started to put on the poster board on an also waiting for the parts to get here

Have you considered 1" formular to finish of the cowl? It's easy to shape. Home Depot 24" x 24 x 1" sheet.

Just out of curiosity, but since your using the FT Power Pod, how are you placing the battery, and other electronics?

 

[Okie]

Very carefully in custom power pod I think

I really like all the formers and how round you're getting it

 

[ClearSkiesCalmWinds]

Is that RCPowers in the background or FRCFoamies? Did you make it out of DTFB?
