I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

This should be wrapped by Friday! John M Oshust Guillows Series 800 - Spirit of St Louis Build 10-Nov-07 12:51 Views : 904 This rubber band and string clamp seems to do the job. While the White glue dries I will fabricate aileron cranks. John M Oshust Guillows Series 800 - Spirit of St Louis Build 10-Nov-07 12:49 Views : 926 I never realize how big the plane will be until it starts to come together. I was perplexed as to how to clamp the wing tips. John M Oshust Guillows Series 800 - Spirit of St Louis Build 10-Nov-07 12:12 Views : 958 I laminated 4, 1/2 inch balsa bolcks for the W tips. I do not trust myself with a knife so I quickly shaped them on a small belt sander. Now I will glue them to the wing, final shaping by hand. John M Oshust Guillows Series 800 - Spirit of St Louis Build 09-Nov-07 22:05 Views : 884 First coat of primer on the top! John M Oshust Guillows Series 800 - Spirit of St Louis Build 09-Nov-07 22:03 Views : 892 Ailerons installed first coat of primer on bottom wing.

John M Oshust Guillows Series 800 - Spirit of St Louis Parked 05-Nov-07 22:06 Views : 1062 Thanks DD for the advice about the large wing decals. Your thought never crossed my mind. Off to the hills of PA for 4 days to try and decrease the turkey population. The wing gets covered upon return. John M Oshust Guillows Series 800 - Spirit of St Louis Build 05-Nov-07 22:04 Views : 1094 Seems like the wing will fit. Like DD I must make wooden end caps for the wing....Guillows plastic...again! John M Oshust Guillows Series 800 - Spirit of St Louis Build 05-Nov-07 22:02 Views : 1035 The Spirit has a wing. A few extra stingers and a large stringer just forward of the aileron spaces. I could not get 1/32 bass wide enough to cover in one piece so I had to adjust the stringers to hold a tight seam. John M Oshust Guillows Series 800 - Spirit of St Louis Build 05-Nov-07 21:59 Views : 878 These a floral arranging pins. They are a bit long but cut easily to fit your building board. You can purchase them at a craft shop. I found them useful in building the Spirit wing. John M Oshust Guillows Series 800 - Spirit of St Louis Build 04-Nov-07 19:55 Views : 964 The top is almost there. Guillows calls for pieced stringers. Fortunately my "mini lumbar yard" yielded stringers that can span the wing in one piece....but I must mark and cut notches as Guillows forgot!
