I've got a new project, its the GWS zero fighter! I got it because 10 other GFK members had got it too, so we bought it all together. Some had already finished building, some had already 80& done, im still half done. LoL!




Start of the building... I started cutting the alierons, rudder and elevator flaps, i used a new blade and a long ruler to cut the lines, impress with myself as i had did a nice cutting, not like my previous estarter cutting. Next, i used 5mins epoxy to glue up the 2 pieces rudder into one piece.




I went down to rotor to buy paints and some accessories for mine and matthew zero fighter. Next step was gluing the fuselage together with 15mins epoxy. I used masking tape to hold the fuses together, so it will not move and is glued tight together. Meanwhile waiting for the epoxy to bind, i started fixing up my alierons. I bought hinges from HC, its cheap so i got it. So far, i find it good, better than the one GWS provide. Hinged the alierons and the control rods, i used clone bobsmith foam safe CA from HC to glue the hinges and the control rods.






What i did today was doing up the horizontal and vertical stabs. Firstly i slot in the tail wheel gear into position, it took me quite a while to bend the wire, but finally had the way i wanted. Secondly, i glued the horizontal stab into place, before i glued it on, i aline it with ruler to see whether both sides is in line. Then i glued the stab with CA and accelerator, it holds well. Thirdly, i hinged up the elevator flaps into place, using 2 hinges for each flap. After which, i hinged up the rudder flap and linked it to the tail wheel, not very well done, rudder is not very straight but its the best i had done. Still looks good though. Up next is gluing on the wing spar, i changed the provided one with a longer and stronger one. I cut out the slot for the longer rods and glued it in place with CA and accelerator, hold perfectly well. My wing is damn strong, compare to my old one, it shld be a able to take up high G pull. Happy with it! Also i glued up the landing gear 'holder' with 5mins epoxy, fast and quick job. The left over epoxy i used on the wing spar, not to waste any of it. Lastly, i went ahead to do the cowling. I cut out the shape via the outline. I then tape the whole cowling with masking tape with many layers, because i wanna paint my cowling in a checkers scheme. It took me about a hour to cut out the shape. Finally i spray orange paint on it, and hopefully it comes out nice. If its not, its ok, it still looks better than total black. Will post pics of the result of the cowling soon.






What i did besides building my zero? Basically its rather a short day, i woke up at 12pm in the noon. Played suddenattack for awhile and got prepared to leave for my driving lesson at 3.20pm. Went there myself as my dad not free, he and my bro watching my sis playing badminton match. So i took 72 straight to YCK and walked to SSDC, took my lunch there and head to my car. This time my car number was 101, my instructor was good. And guess wad, i drove my fastest speed today, at 64Km/h. Damn happy with today's lesson, i drove alot on roads at average speed of 40-60Km/h. After a 2hours of driving, my dad came fetch me and we head back home. Thats alll, boleh bla! LoL!
