sandbagger Posted Wednesday at 11:34 AM Author Posted Wednesday at 11:34 AM Hi all, I've spent four days pre-rigging and creating rigging holes for the Caudron. Here's a few shots, but most are rigging locating holes in the wings and tail unit. Combination of 0.4 and 0.5 mm diameter tube and 0.08 and 0.12 mm diameter mono-filament. Turnbuckles are a mix of Gaspatch 1:48th scale metal and Proper plane 1:32nd scale resin. After assembly I'll final rig the rest of the wires and cables, Mike 5
crazypoet Posted Wednesday at 11:41 AM Posted Wednesday at 11:41 AM I love your attention to detail on this! The rigging is making me a bit cross-eyed even from here - great work! 1
DocRob Posted Wednesday at 01:00 PM Posted Wednesday at 01:00 PM Nice job on the rigging Mike. I thought about a simplified method of rigging, when I start mine, but I don´t know, if it will satisfy me. If not, I have a tutorial now . Cheers Rob 2
sandbagger Posted 8 hours ago Author Posted 8 hours ago Hi all, The upper wing has now been fitted, apart from the bracing struts for the outer lift struts. They will be fitted after final rigging of the wings. Despite have a total of 16 struts, there is still some slight sideways flex of the upper wing. The final rigging should make it all more rigid, Mike 4
sandbagger Posted 3 hours ago Author Posted 3 hours ago Hi all, The eight cabane strut bracing wires have been added. I used 0.12 mm diameter mono-filament, 0.5 mm diameter blackened tubes and Gaspatch 1:48th scale metal turnbuckles (Type A and C) and Anchor Points. Mike 3
