| rayl | Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A | Build | 08-Jan-15 16:53 |  | | Views : 506 | | 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. |

| rayl | Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A | Build | 08-Jan-15 16:41 |  | | Views : 449 | | THis is the jig that I made to insure the alignment of the longerons. The longerons actually change elevation from the main spar back to the final former by about 7/16", thsu the jig. |
