Default RE: Cor-Star 60 Version 2.0 plans and pics

Now onto the front half of the wooden interior, the key to the Cor-Star's exceptional strength. The pics should explain themselves. Use epoxy on the LG and firewall block. Make two halves identical to each other. Constant width is 3 1/2".

After your epoxy sets up, you may opt to fibergalss the LG block. This may or may not be neccesary. I think as long as the block rests on the blasa, you will be fine. The coroplast will absorb a lot of shock from the landing gear area, because once the balsa frame is glued into the coroplast, it's got tremendous shear strength.

I have included a pic of the finished wooden interior. Ignore the rear pieces for now, as they won't glue in until after you have fitted the front interior half into the coroplast fuse area. Once this is established, you will have your angles set for the rear half of the wooden interior (more on that later).

(Don't worry about the wing blocks in the wooden interior at this time. We will cover that shortly)
