Base Unit Lift duct Thrust Duct Motor Mounts Front Cabin
Centre Cabin Air Duct Cover Skirt R/C Installation
This is the last section of the removable superstructure and is designed to lock into the rear thrust unit via two dowels while being locked down by two clamps at the front edge.
As all the windows are glazed on the model a way of getting sufficient air flow for the lift fan was needed. The air intakes on the full size are replicated on the model, the only exception bieng that the rear of the air duct cover has no louvres - just an opening which is not noticed when the model is operational.
The total area of the air intakes is slightly greater than the area of the lift duct.
Construction is of light ply and balsa with 1/64 ply used for the louvres.
