Hansa Jet: the lost German jet (now RC):Part II

Hey Guys 'N' Gals And Merry Christmas!

It's been a while since part one of this article was posted and i have finally gotten back to building this beast (family issues Got in the way).

so without further adue, here we go:

so i picked up Where i left off and Fixed that wobbly nose gear mount (literally a small tug and it came out)

i replaced it with a new balsa mount that evenly spread the force into the Foam Super-structure surrounding it 

as you an see its more than beefy enough for those brain-fart landings of which i make too many)

i then set about re-enforcing the Surrounding superstructre (the nose) 

as well as hooking up the nose wheel Steering 

then i replaced the flimsy upper section of the nose with some nice balsa and foam

also whilst i was Busy I Finished Sheeting the upper half of the Nose And Added An Air-stair!/Door

Door Fully- Closed 

Door Fully open (Air- Stair Deployed) 

Door half - Open (i call this one Peek-a-boo mode haha)

it serves the daul purpose of looking cool and being useful as an Acsess hatch 

Then i set about Rebuilding The horizontal Stab, as the Previous one was to small for flight and not scale.

old Smaller stab on top, newer More Scale and Flight-Worthy Stab

Looks Much better and Scale too!

Next i Set about hinging and installing the Rudder

i think im gonna stick to this method of hinging, it's so smooth and clean  :P

finally i Freed up the Elevators and skinned the very end of the tail

Tail Skinning

also Freed the spring mechanism on the nose landing leg (should help absorb the shocks of landing)

Spring in action 

Little overview 

More updates to come Soon
