RE: SIMLA BUILD THREAD
Wings finally sheeted. Not a pretty sight. I may have to buy a carton of body filler. But I will finish and use them until I can build a new set. Correctly.
Roughing-in the tips.
BTW, I did discover that the extra thick CA (Bob Smith Industries) that I have, and that says it will cure in 15 to 25 seconds, actually takes more than two minutes to cure with dry balsa and the very dry atmosphere we have here (about 15 percent humidity). This gives me time to apply it to all the ribs and so on. I actually have to hit it with kicker.
The weather is supposed to be nice through Saturday, so I should be able to hit the wings with a light coat of primer to sand so I can find the high and low spots; *and* sand the lower fuse and blocks.
Cheers,
Richard
