Default RE: SIMLA BUILD THREAD

Spent the day working on getting the wing root ribs to fit the fuselage. Ultimately, I wound up breaking the glue joint of the rib at the leading and trailing edges. Then I bolted the wing to the fuse with the guide pins in place, clamped the leading and trailing ends of the root rib against the fuse, and epoxied them back to the leading and trailing edges. Now when I receive my sheeting I will fit it to the wing while it is still attached to the fuse and then remove the wing from the fuse. Then all I have to dois glue the fitted sheeting onto the wing while it is on the build bench. If everything goes as planned it should give me a nice close fit on the wing. Notice the reflection in the second photo on the clear coated unpainted side of the fuselage. That's why I use the clear that I use.
