Default RE: Building a built-up pattern stab and wing

Thanks Todd, I saw the fuse you did for Mike and it looked beautiful, this should be an interesting plane once finished.

Hi Colin, Mark Atwood really pushed me hard to get the wings and then stabs to build easier than the first version without the jigs and no interlocking spars/ribs, these are much easier to build. I am glad you had a good experience building the stabs and that’s a big weight savings especially at the back of the plane. You may need to move the motor battery back some, this should help make the plane fly even better by concentrating the weight near the cg of the plane. I do have a PassPort/Visa wing that is similar to the Integral but will think about doing a copy of the Integral, actually I like the Xigris wing better than the Integral - it's thinner and should snap better than the thicker Integral wing.

Here are both panels with the bottom skin glued on, the mounting for the elevator servos, adding doublers for the hinge and then placing glue on the ribs/spars to sheet the top of the panel. I will let the panel set in the jig for a minimum of 6 hours then lay up the second panel in the jigs.
