LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 04-Jul-17 13:38 | | Views : 279 | 20 " Customaire bipe - The parts are now completely blocked up and fitted to each other. The two die crushed ribs were bigger than the laser cut ribs, and had to be sanded to the shape of the laser cut ribs - by sandwiching the two die crushed ribs between the two laser cut ribs, and sanding them equal to the laser cut ribs. Two W6 ribs are left over, and will be added after all else is glued up and dry. The twin W6 ribs in each wing have a 1/32" space between them for the wing strut attachment. I will fit a 1/32" spacer of balsa between them and then glue the rib twins. |
LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 04-Jul-17 13:34 | | Views : 259 | 20" Customaire biplane build - the parts for the two lower "sesqui" wings are ready to be test fitted and held in place flush and snug (but not too tight) for slip fit, with 'parts-locating', balsa bracing planks, that are pinned to the building board. They will then be removed for "double gluing". |
