| rayl | Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A | Build | 08-Jan-15 16:57 |  | | Views : 475 | | This is the third attempt at constructing the vertical fin. It's been a long time since I built a balsa model (about 50 years), so I expect to have bad days. The ribs are 1/8" and the sheathing is hard 1/16" stuff. |
| rayl | Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A | Build | 08-Jan-15 16:53 |  | | Views : 503 | | Starting the process of planking. I had several bottles of CA glue from our local Hobby Lobby which I used to glue up the formers and longerons. When I took the clamps loose, everything fell apart! A two hour drive to Sioux Falls to the LHS to get some fresh CA solved the problem. I'm using 3/32" X 1/4" strips for planking. I plan on planking the entire upper half of the fuselage before removing teh assembly from the jig. |
