RE: ZIROLI P-61 BLACK WIDOW BUILD
Center wing (cont)
Miscellaneous small parts.
I was missing a few pieces from the flaps and TE of the wing buildup.
They were in multiples of two or four so I used double stick tape for the parts to insure accuracy and speed.
pic 1:
Jointed, carpenters glue and some sanding on some new sheeting for the wings.
3/32" thick to make two sheets a foot wide and two 8" wide.
pic 2:
LE epoxied on.
wing secured to the 'L' bracket and outside ribs were aligned for parallel to each other and straight and also perpendicular to the 'L' bracket before gluing the LE.
pic 3/4:
a few small parts were missing so new ones were made up from the plans.
pic 5:
W-4A epoxied to wing (wing rib next to outside edge of flap).
A piece of light balsa clamped to two ribs to give the TE of W-4A a place 'to rest' until the epoxy 'cooks'.
pic 6:
WS-5 epoxied to back of wing.
Plans do not show this but WS-2 says 'two of' so I used WS-2.

Center fuse (cont)
planking (cont)
pic 7:
A 2 1/4" wide sheet with a taper to 1" at the rear glued onto the left side of the frame using carpenters glue.
Water was added to the sheet for 'kind of' a sharp bend in the center of the fuse.
