| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #1803, Pietenpol Air Camper | Parked | 02-Aug-17 10:45 |  | | Views : 425 | | 18" Dumas AIR CAMPER - for added strength, I added two "spacer doublers", double white glued between the Cabane struts and along the wing. I used the elastics to hold a "positioning plank" in order to locate the "spacer doublers" - I then just slid out the positioning plank, and let the doublers dry. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Dumas Kit #1803, Pietenpol Air Camper | Parked | 02-Aug-17 10:39 |  | | Views : 382 | | Elastics are used to hold the wing down into position. I then used 5 min Epoxy to glue the flying struts at their 4 locations on the fuse, and to glue the 2 forward cabane struts that were broken off at the wing. |
