It’s been a little over a month since my last update, that’s because I’ve made hardly any progress on the build. I’ve been waiting for some gear to arrive from the States, which I received a couple of weeks back, and since then I’ve been away for a few days for my birthday bash. Not all has been lost though, I’ve used the “down time” to finish off my Apache DH1 Chipmunk. Enough of the excuses, I’m back on the Sea Fury again and here’s where I’ve got to in the last few days.
Before getting too engrossed with the front end, I wanted to sort out the rear of the fuselage and, now that I’ve got the retractable tail wheel unit, I can crack on.
A 1/4” ply former, extra to the plan, was made up to carry the tail wheel assembly. This was fitted, leaning backwards at the top by 2 degrees, in order to line up with the ply tongue that will fix to it when the tail plane is fitted.
