RE: Sig Ryan STA
Didn't want you all to think that I have been slacking, so I thought I'd take a few photos and show you the progress that I have made.Progresshas been painfully slow at times, but that's part of every build...
The center of the wing has been glassed and two coats of resin have beenapplied, thiswill givemore than enough strengthto this joint. I also decided to box in the bays thatare next to the aileron servos for acouple ofreasons. One, it gives me a bay to tuck the servo lead into,if I have a servo failure that requires me to getat the connection itcanbe easily accessed. Second, it will giveadditional surface areafor the Solartex to hold onto around the aluminum wing brackets. Speaking of having enough surface area for the covering to attatch to, notice thatI have alsoadded 1/8" square stock around the aileron and flap openings for thesame reason.
I wasn't happy with how the front of the wing blends into the fuse, so I decided to make a filler block which proved to be quite a tease to make but fun.It was like carving a Doritos chip!
