RE: .60 size Pattern Tiporare Build
This morning I managed to get the leading and trailing edge contours to match the wing airfoil. I used an old square exacto blade to cut the epoxy from the leading and trailing edge being careful not to get into the planking. It just took a lot of time but it is done.
I took pictures of both sides of the wings and will post them. The right wing weighs 12.00 ounces and the left wing weighs 12 3/4 ounces. At least the weights are comprable for a side mounted engine. The tips and the remaining parts are not included at this time.
I plan to build the remaining parts, Tips, trailing edges (outer and inner) tomorrow. I also plan on making the tips as hollow if I can and still maintain some strength.
After checking out the balsa stock that I bought for the aielarons, I find that it is not thick enough to create the parts. Since I do not have a REAL hobby shop nearby, it looks like another order for materials.
Happy Memeorial Day to all.
Jim
