RE: Scale Dynamics AT-6 Texan Build Thread
Yes Sean, You're right. I did not activate the glue with water. I just spread a layer on the foam and a very thin layer on the back side of the sheet. Then pin it down, You cannot run the pins straight in, you have to push them in at about 45 degrees. I push one in to the front and the next towards the rear. On the bottom, you need to add extra pins in the center section. On the top you need to add extra pins to the dihedral joint to keep the sheet from lifting up. Wait 4-5 hours and pull the pins out. I used needle nose pliers and gave each pin a small twist as I was pulling them out. Be sure to pull them out at the same angle you pushed them in, or you might splinter the wood around the hole. The glue does expand a little. It will foam up around open pin holes and in between sheets that don't fit exactly together. The glue-foam sands down easily and is more or less the same color as the wood.
The Fiberglass center section is just cosmetic. The sheeting is thinner on the top rear to accomodate the fg CC. Once the wing is finished but not glassed, fit up the CC and make any adjustments you need to get it to fit just right then do your normal wing alignment. Believe me when I tell you that after the sheeting is done you could ride the wing like a surfboard without breaking it. It's crazy strong.. you won't believe it.
