I have watched it, quite impressive.That's just one table. I have a 1500 sq. industrial shop 2 stories and believe me I'm slowly running out of space. Take the tour video on my website in my Sig.
...instead I have a smaller workbench crowded with crap
Will do that. I'm heading to the dry lake bed. See you all next week.That’s the way I did my QCC explorer as well.
I suggest filling and priming the intakes before you attach them to the body tube. There are some crevices that will be difficult to sand while they are attached.
I’ll be watching this. I have the Conquest in my build pile as well. Please post pics when you sand the tail cone round. I’m interested in seeing others’ techniques for that. It’s the one step I’m really not sure how to do well.
I was thinking maybe red? I don't know if anyone has tried that yet. Yes it took a bit of the day getting that shape right before I called it"Good Enough!". Actually that part has a number: AA beat the snot out of me what it's for.I think that mystery part is just an extra piece. Maybe someone added that in to the laser cutting file by mistake.
Can't find it on my build, I think I just tossed the piece. Probably didn't even notice it.
Did you have fun sanding that tail pod round? I'm betting a good part of that 4 hours was spent on that alone.
I think I spent about a half hour on it before I called it "good enough"!
Yeah, filling, sanding, maybe even primer and painting the sub-assemblies is a good idea. Impossible to get into the recesses once it's all put together.
Are you going with the medium blue with white underbelly?
+1Totally jealous of all that clean workspace you have.
And the picture shows the mystery part I can't identify in the instructions? Anyone know where it goes?
Ding ding ding! That's the answer.Do you mean the piece in pic 6? I believe that’s part AA in the instructions. It’s used to set the angle of the wing against the body tube.
Check page 4 of the instructions, towards the top on the right.
So Steve, do you have yours painted? We've been waiting for the pictures. Know you've been working on the X-15 but you didn't banish the Conquest to the back corner of the bench did ya?
