Hi Dave Sorry for the lack of updates as I have been trying to finish the wing on my A-ray which is almost done. I also have been working a lot of hours for the last three weeks. Life gets in the way you as probably know.
I had a little trouble figuring out how to cut the taper edge on the leading edges and consulted my local Hobby shop owner Eddie Taylor here in Wichita Falls TX (Action Hobbies/Lazerworks). Eddie has been real helpful with my build he also makes Lazer parts packs for sale online. He told me to take a piece of glass and lay it on top of my bench and then lay the leading edge on top and use a steel straight edge and lay it on top and start at the 3/16 inch end all the way down to 1/2 end. you also need to support the whole straight edge by placing another stick of the same thickness under the side you are not cutting. Now carefully clamp it to the bench and start cutting with a sharp Xacto Knife along the edge. he also told me to cut it in spurts and not to try to cut it in one continuous cut as you will you will find it is easy to destroy these Balsa Sticks After having to replace 1 of them I used this method and it works pretty good. I have two complete and very light wing panels!!! so thats it for this week I hope to have this glued together with 5 minute expoy and the end of the week. I will post some more pics later on in the week
Thank You
Michael Johnston
