Structural
Oct 26, 2024
The tail drive tube positions close to the horizontal stabilizer, thus setting the approximent TR gear box location. It can be moved some.
Before applying epoxy, I rough up the fiberglass. I always test my epoxy before committing to all the structural.

Nice save...
Using the video projector is brilliant, never seen this!
Thanks!
The projector is KEY!
Never seen indeed, either build reports or Vario wiki (I won the 2nd prize in 2023 contest with Bell 212 1:7 build report). Usage of video projector looks to be generally "undocumented" or not used often, while makes so sense to use it for best scale results, like a laser. Maybe I miss something, that's possible
That pretty cool. I like it.
