Once the main instrument panel produced (cf. previous post), I started the challenging task of assembling the structure, made of laminated wood, aluminium sheets (for the fuselage, just like the marvelous Reno warbirds) and of course 4 rollers to allow junior flying around the flat chasing Zeros (well, not too much I hope).
Here is prototype 001, which got me the eternal love of my neighbors (hammer bangs, electric screw drivers bzzzzz, etc.)
Below is a pic from the beast front side, with wind shield made of PET, supports of aluminium with lots of tiny screws & bolds just to test my psychological resilience...
A 3/4 view of the inside. The gun sight (k16 for the experts) is not final yet, neither the compass at the bottom of the instrument panel...
A larger shot that allow to figure out the dimensions of the cockpit: 80cm long, 50 wide, and 85 high... still fitting through Parisian flat doors!!!
The mirror polished aluminium fuselage nicely reflecting the lights...
and to get Mom's approval: "it's only as big as a chest of drawers!"
