AdrianMF Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Hello All,Just finished another one, WIP here. This was on the shelf of doom for a few years after I realised that the wings were not going to fit in flying position. So I'm glad to get it out somehow, and I had fun on the second leg. It's not the greatest kit in the world but if you want a Shark, that's it! Thanks for looking, Adrian 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Nice! - but looks differently with folded wings. What was so bad in wings, that you decided to build with folded? I do not see any problem with them... Cheers Jerzy-Wojtek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Thanks chaps! Nice! - but looks differently with folded wings. What was so bad in wings, that you decided to build with folded? I do not see any problem with them... Cheers Jerzy-Wojtek Jerzy, If you look at the rear view you will notice that the top wings are perfectly symmetrical but the lower wings are not (port wing is higher). Also, the port stub wing us at a higher angle of attack than the other. So when I had it in "extended" mode, the top wings lined up but the lower wings didn't line up wit the stub wings. When I stuck it all together a couple of years ago I didn't realise there was this much play in the system. Forewarned is forearmed!
