Default RE: SLEDGE

Well my method for holding a wing is a little more elaborate and time consuming but practically guarantees perfection. I put pins in the top of the fuse the nose and the tail. Then on the wingtip put a pin in the side at the LE and TE. I then run threads from tip to nose, TE to tail, and tip to top of fuse after you apply epoxy.

With a little tension on each line you can make minute adjustments and they will hold all night while the epoxy cures. You could also use the threded end of the pull pull setup so all you have to do is twist it in or out to ajust the lines.

Like I said it is kinda involved but nothing is more frustrating[:'(], anger inducing[:@], forcing someone to want to see how well balsa burns[sm=punching.gif] than to have a wing shift while it is curing.

I just noticed that the Avitars in this thread are all Sledge's
