| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 07-Aug-09 15:10 |  | | Views : 690 | | 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 : 671 | | I cut the replacement rib oversize and sand to match. Some tape on th neighboring ribs protects them from from the block. |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 07-Aug-09 14:36 |  | | Views : 982 | | Clean up the unaffected areas and make replacement parts. 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"! |

| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Build | 27-Jul-09 04:14 |  | | Views : 747 | | Joined the wings to the fuselage. Needed to move the main spar position to make room for the radio gear. Used a 3/32" x 1/4" spruce stick tapered to 1/8" at the outermost end with a center scarf joint. 1/64" ply reinforcement. |
| pfinn | Shortys Basement BV-215 | Reference | 26-Jul-09 02:21 |  | | Views : 829 | | Whoo Hee!! Scored a sack of shorts and seconds in spruce for a song. Super spar stuff, surely..... Sorry, couldn't help it. 12" to 18" L , 1/8"sq to 1/4" x 5/8". |
