F4F/FM2 Wildcat Project Model 01
The first of the F4F/FM2 Project models will be ready from the 1st of March 2024. This is the first in a series of accurate CAD models for the F4F/FM2 Horizontal Stabiliser and Elevator. These models will only be available to project sponsors. Download links will be emailed to the sponsors on 1st March 2024.
These images show the work in progress. I still have the Elevator Trim Tab, Trailing Edge and the lightening holes to add.
The red profiles at the ends of the Elevator are the skin end caps…all models will include skin profiles for reference. The single rib shown in blue is still to be dimensionally verified.
As usual all inquiries to hughtechnotes@gmail.com.
Update: 4th March 2024:
The horizontal Stabiliser and Elevator model is now done as far as is possible from current known information. As we don’t yet have details for the actuator this is not included…further research will hopefully provide more information.
