Hope this over-busy period blows over soon Wayne.

 

[Lucky13]

In your own time buddy, it's always worth the wait, so no need to worry....

 

[Wayne Little]

cheers guys....while working on how to refix the control surfaces i whacked the engine stuff together today....was all pretty quick actually pics up soon....and those engine cowl parts what a pain in the butt to get them to line up nicely after a dry fitting trial....

 

[Wayne Little]

A bit of an update...that engine assembled and some of the cockpit stuff prepped...

 

[Crimea_River]

Good stuff Wayne. Nice to see you back at it.

 

[Lucky13]

They were a Royal pain!
A word of warning, it is near impossible to get the cowl to fit if the engine is mounted to the firewall and the exhausts are installed.
Looking good though!
Oh, and the spinner is too small for the cowl by a bunch, too. You might want to do a dry fit of that to see what I mean.

Great work so far Wayne!

I figured that out about the exhaust fit in relation to the cowls as I always go through dry fit sequences looking for potential issues, but thanks Paul.

Looking forward to some color on the cockpit and engine Wayne.

 

[Wayne Little]

I agree she looks good I like how you've picked out the small buttons in white, it really accents it a lot and gives it added flair to the cockpit

 

[T Bolt]

I can't see what your not happy about Wayne, it looks wonderful to me.

 

[parsifal]

Boy it nice to watch your work Wayne. Great patience and good results

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Guys....we are our own worst critics I guess....

 

[Crimea_River]

That we are. Looks great to me Wayne.

 

[Airframes]

Me too.
