1/16" motor mount plate has been glued in place and the Mega 16/15/6 has
been fitted to the mount to aid in centering the front cowl face to the fuselage. |
 |
The front cowl face has been glued to the nose and spackling has
been applied in preparation for additional sanding. |
 |
| The nose has been sanded to shape. This photos shows how the Mega
is recessed back from the front cowl face. |
 |
| A balsa spinner has been made. A fiberglass spinner will be laid up over
the balsa plug later. This spinner is the shaped used on the Type-24 Rata. Other rata
versioned had slightly different spinner shapes. |
