I plead the 5th on why one side of the fuse
is sheeted before I did the wing tube alignment.

adjusters installed, and rudder servo cut outs opened.

Status: offline 		Sam and Bhanley,

Thank you,

I have enjoyed working on the planes so far. I think the
location of my new shop right off our kitchen has helped a lot.

No stress to step into the shop for a few minutes do a little
work and then step back into the kitchen.

on the motor box. After that was dry I epoxied the truss
sides in place.

I also had an emergency wing repair to take care of.

All the cross bracing, diagonals and the upper triangles
are complete. Tomorrow I will remove the fuse from
the table.

Status: offline 		Second fuse is off the table.

I started working on the root ribs for the main wings,
decided on the standard 8/32" wing attachment instead
of studs.

To add a little extra protection from wing movement with
the adjustable incidence I will turn some thick aluminum
washer for the 8/32 wing bolts. One face will have teeth
or a knureled surface. When the wing bolt is tightened
down the knureled face would grip the plywood wing mount
pad.

I also backed up the 1/4" plywood mounting plates with
some 1/64" plywood strips for a little added strenght.

I see some builders dowel these into the foam running
small dowels at angle into the foam a few inches. I may
do that also.
