1:32nd scale Hanriot HD.1

Bravo...

Hi all,
Partial construction before pre-rigging.

Mike

Il est superbe..

pareil pour moi.

Hi all,
The rudder, ailerons and upper wing have now been fitted.
All pre-rigging was also put in place.

However, previously when test fitting the upper wing, I found that the kit supplied 3D printed cabane side support struts were too short.
When located, they were approximately 1.0 mm clear of the fuselage.
So I modified the fuselage cabane strut assembly to lower the upper wing slightly to allow the struts to locate fully.
Now, with the upper wing fitted, I found that the struts were still too short.
Therefore, I decide to discard the kit supplied struts and create replacement struts.
These were made from 1.2 mm diameter Brass tube, formed into an airfoil profile and with internal 0.3 mm diameter Brass locating rods.

Onward upward,

Mike

Beautiful job!!!!
