Put the wing on and mark the area
needed for the wheel well.
155.
Enlarge the marks by 1/8" all around.
156.
Saw out the hole.
157.
Line the hole with 1/8" plywood.
158.
Cap the top of the well with 1/8" ply. This
cap should match the level the tank floor
so that the well is closed off from the
inside of the fuselage when the wing is
mounted.
159.
We made the wing fairing on the retract
gear Kobra from sheet rather than
blocks because of the well being in the
way. This piece is inset into the sheet
wood of the wing at the back.
160.
Trace the outline of the fuelage on a
piece of 1/8" scrap.
161.
Draw an inner line inside by the
thickness of the sheet used. We used
soft 1/8", but 3/32" would bend easier.
162.
a. With wax paper between to
prevent sticking, glue the scrap
former to the wing.
b. Add a scrap side former as
shown.
163.
Soak the sheet wood in water until it is pliable and bend it into place.
164.
This shows the air tank and control valve installation in one King Kobra. The servo for the valve was put on the wall of the
fuselage just ahead of F-3.
