| edtherenderman | Easy Built Taube | Build | 13-Jan-20 11:17 |  | | Views : 262 | | Been spending time working on the Taube. I’ve covered all the surfaces and doped them with EZDope. 1:3 thinned with water worked really well. Took about five coats but finally got tissue fully saturated without big globs of dope to clean up. |

| edtherenderman | Easy Built Taube | Build | 02-Jan-20 12:30 |  | | Views : 338 | | Here one wing seen from the root. It is a bit hard to tell, but there is a significant warp molded into the wingtip as per the plans. |
| edtherenderman | Easy Built Taube | Build | 02-Jan-20 12:30 |  | | Views : 273 | | Here are the wings. I printed the ribs, trailing edges and wing tips on the 3D printer. The leading edge and stringers are balsa. I used CA to cement everything together, which seemed to work well. These wings are really heavy with all the plastic pieces. I can see that there are some weight savings I can do to improve it, but I think this type of construction will always be heavy. |
