Additional Cradle Work

After looking at the cradle and thinking about the stability I want, I decided to put some additional length and width to the rear. This will allow me to adjust the cradle after I get the empennage attached so that it will support it a little bit better. But hopefully I won’t have to use this for too long as I got the rotisserie from the club which should be what I use for the majority of the build while it is not on its wheels. Either way, I used as much of the timber from the crate as I could which appears that some of it was made out of balsa…. It should be sturdy enough with how big of a block it is but it does give me some pause. I need one more wheel which I will pick up tomorrow and then I can move the spar mount brackets they had from the crate onto the cradle for my forward mount and then I have some additional 2×4’s which I can use to mount along the middle spar of the cradle to support the rear.
