Default RE: Golberg Eagle 2 Build Questions

To me (FWIW) the plans look a little out of scale for the actual building materials. They look like the copy came out a tad small. I say this because in your pic, the rear of the trailing edge appears to be right with the plan sheet, but the ribs are longer (front-to-back) than the plan sheet and brings the front of the leading edge beyond the plan sheet. Is this the case, or is it just the angle of the pic that's got me confused?<div>
</div><div>The Eagle 2 shows a wingspan of 63". Measure the wing panel's span on the plan and see if the wing panels add up to this measurement. If not, then the problem lies in the scale of the plans. If you come up with a 63" span, then the trailing edge stock was notched incorrectly. I see by the build manual that the leading edge is in fact a length of 5/16" dowel, not is NOT notched.</div><div>
</div><div>I'm with Tarasdad and MinnFlyer. If the trailing edge was notched incorrectly, placing the inboard (root) ribs where the notches are at present will not make a difference. Just make sure the the notches are in the same place on bot pieces of trailing edge stock.</div><div>
