To get a "near" correct position of the canards, I looked at the old Centuri Magnum instruction drawings. I kept messing with the enlargement until I got it to match the length of the model. Notice the diameter of the Jayhawk screen drawing is wider than the model.
This gave me a good idea of where to mount the canards on the nose cone instead of farther down on the body tube.
The root edge of the canards had to have a slight sanding to match curve of the nose cone.
I decided to use a cut needle set into the root edge of the canards for some support.
A hole was drilled through the wall of the nose cone to accept the needle
To get the correct position of the canards, I compared my nose cone to your nose cone in part 23 of this build. I just used CTRL-- (minus) to reduce my screen so our nose cones sizes matched.
ReplyDeleteHi Scott,
DeleteEnlarging and reducing a screen image is sometimes the easiest way to size things. Thanks for the "Control -" thing, I just learned a new shortcut!
