Turbo Probe seat, and wings

Post by **GoldCylon** » Sun Aug 07, 2011 10:30 pm

I have just about finished the seat, and the wings, but still have a few minor things to tweak out before ready for paint, and of casting. One of the rear wings also needs to be rounded on the edges still. Over all I like the way it is coming out. Here is a photo of what is just about finished. I have also started on the tank, and nose fairing. That is a single piece, and lined up a few items on the engine clam shell cowling. Fun stuff so far.

Thanks Red Eye, but major set back. Since I don't have all the measurements I made a mistake. I used mostly 2 photos to study to try to get one of the length of the lower back wing section. After finished I came in to study more photos on the next pieces to work on, and I saw one of the wings from a different view I didn't study. Man I was off in the length. I need to go back and either add on the missing length or re-make these. I think I am going to re-make them, because I tucked them in a bit closer than they should be. It would be just easier over all to start over, then try to re-work everything.

Ok I started the rear wing today. I didn't have much time except about 1 1/2 hours to work on it. I cut the material and framed it out. I also noticed I needed to and a bit of an angle cut the lower section. Only 1 photo to show the major difference in the old wing and the current difference in what it will grow in size difference.
