I was able to get the jaws of two strong clamps inside the fuse opening to hold everything together. All glued up and clamped in place. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | SIG Cabinaire | Parked | 10-Jul-17 06:36 |  | | Views : 880 | | I was able to double white glue that chunk of balsa, that was ripped out from the bottom of the forward fuse former, right back into its spot ( it slid right back in - press fit! ). I then made a 1/16" thick, slightly smaller, 3/4 size support plate (with the rectangular cutout for the nose block), to glue in behind that forward fuse former bulkhead for additional strengthening. The pic shows the support plate (with inked lines), sitting in position inside the front fuse former. I also made two clamping plates (either side of the fuse) - one for the front of the fuse, and one for inside the fuse, to hold the support plate in place while the glue dries. |
