Trying to measure out the holes for the nose. For some reason it looked wrong no matter how much I measured thing. It took several tries to try and line things up but no matter how much I measured things did nt seem right |
Here is a little jig I made up to check the alignment of the parts |
This little thing checks the distance from the center line even though I measured it with a caliper and it seemed fine. However by eye it still did not look right so I had to make these little jigs |
The other side measured |
I finally think I got it right |
A long while later I have my parts to detail the nose |
ans a long more while later things are assembled |
Since I lost the time while at the convention I could have stopped at the above but wanted to do a bit more. This is drawing up lines on the scale photo to get the nose antenna arrays started |
Two two started nose antenna arrays |
