Wakefield fuselage nearing completion
I found a few more spare hours during February to start the construction of the Wakefield fuselage. The main construction phase is now complete, I just need to finish off the wire landing gear and the rubber end mounting fixtures.
The kit supplied enough balsa for the fuselage without the diagonal bracing, so I used some spare 1/8" sheet to cut some balsa strip and add the bracing in as additional strengtheners as suggested by the original plans.
The fuselage was relatively easy to build, but I did have to rig up a few jigs to ensure I got a perfectly square and rigid box frame.
