| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Reference | 19-Aug-09 01:18 |  | | Views : 725 | | 12" WS. Balsa with a Bass lamination in the fuse. Shaped the wing with an airfoil. Need to go to the Park for some hard throws before it's gone. Gotta make sure it flies good! ;) |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Reference | 19-Aug-09 01:13 |  | | Views : 742 | | Been blasted with 2-D work the last two weeks so I took a little break and made a little hand-chuck glider for a neighbor. Flies surprisingly well. Too bad I've got to gift it. But it couldn't go to a nicer person. |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 09-Aug-09 02:25 |  | | Views : 654 | | With all the 1/16" infill, Spruce, and Bass, it ain't no light-weight but it'll be fine for my purposes. |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 09-Aug-09 02:22 |  | | Views : 672 | | Added some 1/32" Bass to the perimeter of the fin and contreol surfaces prior to attachment for "Ding" resistance and to help while sanding in an airfoil shape. |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 07-Aug-09 15:10 |  | | Views : 675 | | Back on the wing jig for final glue-up. A nice thing about using the "Gator Board" for a building board is one can cut it easily with a sharp hobby knife. Since my wing and control surfaces are already attached, this came in very handy. It'll help to keep the specified wash-out when covering as well. I'm gald I took the time to make a good and permanent wing jig |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 07-Aug-09 15:04 |  | | Views : 655 | | I cut the replacement rib oversize and sand to match. Some tape on th neighboring ribs protects them from from the block. |

During this repair I also became the official armorer (repair man) for a large scale "Khight" battle going on between my son and his friends. 7 swords, 2 staffs,3 heads, and 2 hands. Definately not a nice day in "Camelot"! |
