Default RE: Byron Wedell Williams Racer Build

Here are the rest of the photo's.

The formers are dry fitted then the wings were placed per instructions with the root TE on the same 1 1/4 in block as the fuse and the W7 rib supported by a 2 1/4 in block (mine was longer to makeup the difference in the in the root block) Incidence was checked and set at 1 degree. The wings were taped to the fuse. The aluminum extrusions were dry fitted and the formers adjusted and checked for level. The extrusions were sanded on the back cleaned with alcohol then epoxied in place and allowed to dry after checking all level points and wing incidence for a final time.

The aluminum extrusions were drilled and screws placed with blue locktight after hardening the holes with thin CA. The formers were replaced and everything shimmed again and measured. Aeropoxy was used to set everything. I did one side at a time and on the reverse made sure I was getting aeropoxy into the gaps between the former and the fiberglass. The dried result looks rock solid. No extra fiberglass will be used.
