Saturday 16th April Here's the cone shape so far, pics 1 & 2 below. This is how my R5's dome looked at this stage so the form is looking good.
I put the cone inside the dome base hole to hold while I got on with the electrical work. Pic 3 below.
Cut out centre piece from base.
Using
the disc cut out, I measured the distances on R5's body (rotation ring location
bolts) and transferred them to the new base ring. I then drilled dia 8mm holes
to start & check correct position.
Started to pin the inner neck ring into place.
Cut
a length of board for outer neck diameter. And strapped to form curved shape. ...............I tried to curve the dome skin more, but the wood started to tare. So I will need to make a second section of skin, to make it in two halves
