And offered up for size. Steam the outside side of the sheet for a few seconds, and it will bend into a good shape for attaching...
Then it's just a line of glue, and a few pins...
All old EeZeBilders will remember this stage..
At this stage I realised I was actually making a balsa Aerokits model rather than an EeZeBild. Here is the classic notch where the side skin changes from abbutting the bottom to overlapping it...
While the superstructure is off you can place the rudder and servos. Here is a 'quick and dirty' rudder made from tinplate, a brass tube and the brass electric wire connector from a plug.
Well, what other shape should an EeZeBilt rudder be?
Now both bottom skins are on, trim back to half-way along former 1 for the front skin...
and more pins...
Now the superstructure can be glued in, and I put a thin strip of 1/16" along the side to support the deck pieces.
While the bottom skins were drying, I also made up a couple of roofs for the superstructure...
And on go the deck pieces...
It's looking a bit more like a hull, now...
One problem with EeZeBilts is the massive number of pinholes you make in the balsa. But fear not - it's easy to make them vanish. Just put a drop of water on each one....
