poppy | 13-Apr-14 05:55 | Trim the edges of each panel as you go, and finally the wings are "skinned". |
David Duckett | 13-Apr-14 06:06 | They look great. You did not mention any glue on the ribs or stringers so I'm assuming you did not put any glue there. When I tried sheeting I did and you could see it in a nasty way which is why I don't do it. I can certainly see the advantage of gluing the sheeting only on the edges> |
poppy | 13-Apr-14 06:14 | Yes, I tried the other way also with nasty results. Just have to make sure all ribs and stringers are sanded smooth with no unwanted raised edges. |
frwyflyer | 13-Apr-14 08:05 | VERY NICE!! Did you wet the wood or was it a dry bend? |
JohnG. | 13-Apr-14 09:23 | AWWW RITE!!! Looking sharp, Sir....... |
poppy | 13-Apr-14 10:33 | Dry bend. This is the same technique I use on all my wings simulating metal covers. Although now I only glue leading and trailing edges and end ribs. |
