RE: Building the BUSA SPAD 13
ime for an update on the progress of the SPAD 13. I have been working on it, but with holidays, family visits and now the very cold weather has limited my time in the shop. Plus I am at stage in the build process I find very trying. Building the cabane struts, interplane struts and setting the wing incidence. I followed the manuals recommendation to use an angle finder to set the incidence for for both wings. It worked out as instructed, but it seemed like going to Tulsa to just get across the street. Using an incidence meter, I always used, would worked as well and the results would have been the same. Both wings have the manuals recommended incidences. Bending and soldering wire for the cabanes & struts is time consuming process. Every thing has to be jigged, wire wrapped and set before beginning the soldering. All the solder joints look good, only the landing gear legs to do. Here are the pictures
Till next time.
