| pfinn | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Build | 07-May-09 18:18 |  | | Views : 864 | | Before removing I used "Thin" CA along the seam to bond the two laminations. Got about 1/8" "Spring-back" OA between start and end point. |
| pfinn | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Build | 07-May-09 18:12 |  | | Views : 834 | | Put the whole "Kit and Kaboodle" back in the Microwave for another 15 to 30 secs. |
| pfinn | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Build | 07-May-09 18:09 |  | | Views : 831 | | After wrapping I used a wedge clamp to lock it in place. It also aided in pulling the balsa hoop tight around the former. |
| pfinn | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Build | 07-May-09 18:05 |  | | Views : 890 | | Formed rudder hoop. 2ea 1/32" x 1/16" balsa strips saoked in water 'bout 10 min, microwave for no more than 10 secs. (they will dry out). 1/16" Bass form over Parchment. Tapered press-fit starter notch. Pull tension while wrapping both sticks around form. |
| pfinn | Dumas Kit #222, Fokker EIII | Build | 03-May-09 20:03 |  | | Views : 895 | | Glad I added a 1/16 Bass strip to the trailing edge. Got pretty thin there after shaping! |
