Good Afternoon.
Progress on the Flybridge, just in it's rough embryonic stage at the moment, but gives some idea what it will look like.
The construction of the main body is by shaping round a 6mm ply bottom jig and for ease of bending and lightness I used the sandwich method consisting of 3 layers, the inner and outer layers are of 2mm lite ply with a 3mm balsa centre core. The jig was cut away after the laminating glue had set.
I also used the balsa middle layer to make it easier to route out the slot for the wind/spray deflector, which will be tinted after final shaping.
After making the steering wheel, which will be painted later, I have started on the twin lever throttle lever assy based on the Morse pattern. I don't know yet as to the instrument arrangement as that will be dictated by the throttle position next to the wheel.
Some pictures.
Mike.
