Retro RC Pete


The Sobo hinged stab came out neat and flexible (above left). This method may be of use on future projects. The hinged and stenciled surfaces (above, at right) are now ready for assembly. Pete is assembled (below, at right) with Sobo glue. Be sure to check alignment of both the wing and horizontal stabilizer while drying. Laser-cut plywood control horns (below) were epoxied in place on all flying surfaces.


The landing gear is made up from laser-cut plywood, carbon fiber rod stock and aluminum tube, which aligned easily (above left) and was very strong. The


54


assembled landing gear is epoxied into pre-cut slots in the fuse and Pete (above right) is standing on its own.
