Reworking the rudder pedal assembly meant removing and remaking the actuator horn and shaft, the WNW part was quite basic, naturally as its fairly out of sight normally. but having to add the cables I made it out of a sandwich of .05 and .10 card so the cable eye sits between the two outer skins. Not that you can see or will be able to see clearly once she is built..but you know AMS strikes again
I took this chance to add a little variation and twist the rudder bar, *damn its fragile, snapped ut in two when working on it and yes theres a few little details still to add.Control column I have thinned the hand gril a little I have yet to scratch a throttle assembly and cables. I added the handle, I assume this was to adjust column height. I carved out the mounting between the main column and the *stabilising?* bar that connects to the lower tube, and twisted the rear mounting point, this sets the column off at an angle when in place. A few details to add, a little reworking to do still.
The prop is the kit part chopped and distressed, the ends and boss ar still to be finished.
The seat. I cut the base away so I could rework the cushion easier, I added plasticard to the bottom th thicken the cushion and drilled then worked the button locations, lots of sanding and carving and coats of liquid cement to smooth and check before the punched out buttons could be added. I bent the arms of the side/back outwards adding a lip out of strip and skinning the inner side with plasticard, sanded ti show the seamwork in the leather, I know it seems OTT but the seat is the first thing you see when you peek into the cockpit and WNWs offering is a little plain.
More soon.
