Default RE: Modelbau MB339 buildout

Good luck on the maiden! She is a true flyer and should not be much of a problem.

Ok, More of the build....I have been collecting pictures for a few days so it is gonna come fast and furious for now but will slow down as get caught up. The point of this build is to show that even a low buck model can be worked over until you have something that will serve you well.

Ok, Pic #1 shows the 1/8th ply doubler clamped in place.

Pic #2 shows it after the hysol has cured. Notice that the ply is now flush with the face of the glass work. I worked some hysol down in between the original bulkhead and the glass work filling any gap in that area.

Pic #3 shows the 1/4 inch doubler in place. now we have a 5/8ths thick bulkhead that is not going to fail, period.
