| rayl | 25-Jan-16 23:18 | | Another view of the saddles. Out of scrap balsa I built 4 different sanding blocks fair teh airfoil. If some ham-handed idiot wouldn't have crushed several ribs during the process, requiring replacments, I would hav been done much sooner. Now on to the strut & rigging attachment points. |

| pfinn | 26-Jan-16 15:57 | | That guy REALLY gets around! He broke the same rib on my wing FIVE times! Anyway, one thing I learned during my machining days, it's always how you hold/secure your part. Jigs and Fixtures and clamps... |
| Skyediamonds1985 | 26-Jan-16 16:23 | | Judging from the way this discussion is going, I guess it would be safe to say "Looking forward to having my ribs and stringers crushed on my future modeling project." -Sky :) |
| Skyediamonds1985 | 26-Jan-16 20:35 | | Rayl.... I was supposed to be working on my S.E. 5, when I was captured by your amazing detailed explanation of your XF-92 build. I couldn't stop reading your posts about the fabrication of the canopy and landing gears. Funny, on your January 15th post, you said you didn't want to tackle the landing gears. Seems as if history repeats itself. Can't thank you enough for taking the time to really go into detail about the heat-shrink of the canopy using plastic bottle method. I've read abbreviated versions, but never as detailed and thorough as yours. Thank you so much! You're also an inspiration for all of us. -Sky |
| Skyediamonds1985 | 26-Jan-16 20:37 | | By the Way, I feel a lot better now after posting all of those details on my fabrication of the Wright Bros' engine. Keep up the excellent work! |
