I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

I also decided to add Diagonal cross bracing rearward of the main spar. And again, radiused gusseting. Sometimes I wonder...this is supposed to be a "Quick" build. Sheesh. pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 16-Oct-19 03:11 Views : 322 pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 16-Oct-19 03:10 Views : 380 Since the airfoil is not flat bottom, small tabs lift the ribs of the building surface to keep the oriented correctly. These tabs will be removed later. Notched LE and TE really help with this kind of technique. The top spar is not bonded at this time in lieu of adding the vertical grain shear webs. pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 16-Oct-19 03:03 Views : 322 LE laminated from four 1/32" Balsa strips. Marking for Rib notches. pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 16-Oct-19 02:54 Views : 303 Only the outer side was laminated with the Carbon to facilitate a better bond with the "Shear webs" further down the line. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 16-Oct-19 02:51 Views : 249 Carbon fiber "Tow" is laminated to the outer side of the Basswood cores. Tauten the the dry fibers on a flat nonstick surface (packing tape on the building board this time) then squeegee(?) Epoxy to "Wet Out" the fibers. Carefully pull the fibers off the surface and transfer to Basswood cores. Clamp between flat surfaces for curing. pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 16-Oct-19 02:40 Views : 247 The Spars are curved so I laminated two 1.5mm (1/16") square basswood strips. Because of the mild bend, pins were used instead of the usual forms. pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Build 16-Oct-19 02:35 Views : 315 After drawing up the a rough wing plan in CAD (I actually used a proven airfoil for this project!) i printed out the rib profiles and tack glued them to some sheet. I used a Balsa stripper to keep the cuts as square as possible. Using a Scalpel blade which is thinner than an Exacto made this easier. pfinn Scratch Built Holiday Parked 16-Oct-19 02:23 Views : 275 Hello. It's been a while! I'd like to add a model to the list. "Scratchbuilt RØMØ Own design". This will be a small Slope Glider with Pivot wings that I can travel with on my journeys throughout Europe. Starting with a trip to Denmark in a couple weeks to the Island of... RØMØ. Hence the name..haha. I have moved to Germany and finally have some time to build. Yay!! pfinn Pat's Custom Models Brown B2 Miss LA Build 23-May-16 13:45 Views : 819 Flush pfinn Pat's Custom Models Brown B2 Miss LA Build 23-May-16 13:44 Views : 802 Installed.Needed to add reinforcement to the stringers because the Fairing overlapped the bulkhead.
