The whole construction of the model is optimized to build the model very fast, due to many epoxy glass parts . The moulded parts are detailed with rivets ,panel lines hatches ect. and only require little preparation prior painting. The main fuselage , the booms and the elevator are separate parts that are glued together to make a “fuselage unit”. The wings are detachable and are made of foam / obechi. The wings have detailed glass fibre ailerons and tip tanks( depending on kit version).Aileron cut outs are shrouded and the wings have factory installed servo locks and ready made servo lead channels.The plug ins are factory installed aswell and are reinforced by ribs and glass fibre under the skin. Because of the large wheel cut out, the wing has two wing plug ins, one in front of the wheel well and one behind..All formers are laser cut except some small pieces that have to be made from srcap by the modeller.The wings are ready for glassing ( sanded). The build up is accomponied by a very detailed 35-page manual including instructions to build a scale cockpit with ejection seats,three views &drawings
To build the Sea Venom , the following is required: 1) Epoxy resin, small pieces of glass cloth or carbon,canopy glue,filler and colours (Thin glass cloth for wing skinning if so wished) 2) Some balsa & ply scrap ( some foam for cockpit parts ) 3) A Dremel with disc cutter and sanding barrel (cut outs on GRP-parts) The model needs three -good quality- servos, such as the Graupner 4421or 8411 or similar for ailerons and elevator and a standard servo for the nosewheel. If rudders are linked, two micro servos with a width of 13mm, and some pieces of carbon tube/rod to build hinges .All other hinges are of the “Robart”-type.All hinges and accessories are available as an extra. Functional flaps and airbrakes are not prepared in the kit. There will be GRP parts available later , to shorten the procedure. Also in preparation is a servo operated canopy opening mechanism. All customers will be informed about the progress. |
