Wildcat build
Hi all, as promised, here's the first few pics of my Brodak Wildcat build and so far it's been an easy kit.
![Wildcat build Wildca12](https://i.servimg.com/u/f39/19/07/72/97/wildca12.jpg)
Laying the ribs out to check length.
![Wildcat build Wildca13](https://i.servimg.com/u/f39/19/07/72/97/wildca13.jpg)
LE and TE in jigs and dry fitting ribs the fit has been nice so far. One word for those who might want to build this kit, The slots on th both the LE and TE don't exactly line up to the plans. the W2 rib slots therefore must line up. if you get the W2 slots lined up everything will be fine.
![Wildcat build Wildca14](https://i.servimg.com/u/f39/19/07/72/97/wildca14.jpg)
All the ribs have been added then glued as well as the LE joiner.
![Wildcat build Wildca15](https://i.servimg.com/u/f39/19/07/72/97/wildca15.jpg)
Test fitting the fuselage top half.
![Wildcat build Wildca16](https://i.servimg.com/u/f39/19/07/72/97/wildca16.jpg)
Another view of the top half of the fuselage. This has to be a lightly snug fit.
More pics to come as the build progresses.

Re: Wildcat build
Yup that's what I'm looking forward too. This is going to be the new home for my TD .051

Re: Wildcat build
I think Ron mentioned that looks like a baby ringmaster wing and I agree. I had a baby ring with a TeeDee and it was a blast to fly.

Re: Wildcat build
I don't know for sure, but it looks like a bigger wing area then a Baby Ringmaster (which is good) more like the Brodak Clown?
Re: Wildcat build
More construction pics of my wildcat. ![Smile](https://2img.net/i/fa/i/smiles/icon_smile.gif)
![Wildcat build Wildca17](https://i.servimg.com/u/f39/19/07/72/97/wildca17.jpg)
Wing with the tips installed and the bell-crank mount installed. So far very little sanding has been needed to get the parts to fit properly.
![Wildcat build Wildca18](https://i.servimg.com/u/f39/19/07/72/97/wildca18.jpg)
Bell-crank and lead-out wires trial fitted.
![Wildcat build Wildca19](https://i.servimg.com/u/f39/19/07/72/97/wildca19.jpg)
Fuselage top half with canopy glued in place and awaiting sanding
![Wildcat build Wildca20](https://i.servimg.com/u/f39/19/07/72/97/wildca20.jpg)
Top half of fuselage glued into place. I had to trim the LE and TE saddles lightly on both sides to get the fuselage to sit properly in the wing
![Wildcat build Wildca21](https://i.servimg.com/u/f39/19/07/72/97/wildca21.jpg)
Now with the lower half of fuselage installed.
![Wildcat build Wildca22](https://i.servimg.com/u/f39/19/07/72/97/wildca22.jpg)
Better view of the fuselage.
![Wildcat build Wildca23](https://i.servimg.com/u/f39/19/07/72/97/wildca23.jpg)
Shot of the motor mount complete with doublers
More pics to come...
