Looking at potentially picking up a partially completed T40AS (trycycle gear, bubble canopy Turner)....
Anyone here ever dealt with this model of aircraft? Esp construction....
Further, how much more difficult is it to build a plane from wood vs sheet metal or all-glass?
I'm an airframe mechanic for the Army, so I've done sheet metal & fiberglass work before...
But we obviously don't use wood structure in our birds.... Any tips/comments?
The bird I'm looking at has the body done, but would need the wings built (I don't know if they're wood structure, glass covered, or wood structure, plywood covered)... How hard is it to make 'good' wings from wood?
Any other tips??? |
