Status: offline 		Thank you Andrew,

The first pair of stabs look great! I have them trimmed up and ready
for the leading edge and trailing edge stock to be glued on.

The second pair of stabs just came out from under the weight and need
trimming and prep but look great also.

I cut and taped together the pieces for both rudders. I glue one rudder
and just placed it under the weight for the night.

I think that is it for tonight.

now the kids are getting sick (back to school is so much fun!).


Rudder/fin, One is sheeted and ready for leading and trailing edge,
the second one is glued and under weight.

Both pairs of stabs/elevators are sheeted.

Status: offline 		Hey Kelly, what glues (types, i.e. CA, epoxy, poly ...) are you using for the different parts and sheeting, and why? With your construction and building experience, I figure you probably have a great idea of what glue works where, and more importantly, which ones don't. I tend to use CA for the bulk of my construction, and poly and epoxy where needed. I've never sheeted foam wings before, but I hear a lot of guys are have great success using a very thin layer of poly and using water to "kick" it.

Thanks,

-Jorden

I found that template for cutting the hole in the firewall for the ZDZ160.

I've been in bed sick.... will let you know if I'm feeling better tomorrow and, if so, I'll drop it off at your house.

Dave

Status: offline 		Jorden,

Sheeting to foam:
It was a toss up between Urethane and laminating epoxy for this application.
I decided to go with urethane for ease of use (no mixing) and availability.

Wood frame:
Yellow carpenters glue... No fumes, fun to peel off your fingers, cost,
easy to sand. CA would be fine for this if you like.

Firewall, motor box etc. :
I will use 30 minute+ epoxy... Strong and I can add
milled fiberglass for strenght.

Hope that helps

Status: offline 		That is OK Dave, no hurry. I have had a couple of slow
days (ask Kurt) and haven't made much progress.

Here is one of the hatch covers sheeted. I decided to add
the 7/8" balsa strips per plan, but I glued them on first so
the sheeting would cover over the edge and eliminate a
visible joint.

I kept the 7/8" strip one the bottom so I could use carpenters
glue to join it to the fuse instead of urethane. That might
be easier to work with and make a smoother joint.

I will cut away the extra foam later in the build.
