After a long delay due to reams of work at the office and having to go outstation the Concorde is back on the bench. The underbelly of the wing is complex, loads of curves and angles so one awful lot of sanding to get things correct. As the meshing of the belly pan to the fuselage will be difficult to achieve once the wing is in place two strips of 5mm Depron were taped to the underbelly to get a sort of mini wing to get the shaping correct. One more final sand with 400 and 600 grit and then we can put the fuselage aside and get into that big delta.
As I advised in another thread I now have Reflex XTR version of the model so I have been test flying the model at the field to see how it behaves with two 6 x 4 propellers. Speed wise similar to the F-15 of AstroBoy's no real nasty tendances except a marked pitch up from low throttle to hitting the firewall, as expected it will fly slow at very high alpha's looks very impressive to say the least.
Here is a picture of the underbelly located in the fuselage.
