Thank you Ricardo.
I did glue the stan root caps to the stab foam. I like to do one at a time, and i will shim them, such that, the root cap sits nice and snug against the fuselage side.
I place wax paper on fuselage side and then with the fuse on its side, I place the stab with root cap on.
the stabs are now ready to be sheeted.
Just some very small steps to do:
install a very small hard point for a screw to fix the stab tube to the stab and small balsa block with a hole over the adjuster area.
Once I do these, then I can glue the skins onto the stab foam cores.
I will do one at a time.
there is no race here.
I also did some weighing. I am imagining the goal is 130 grams per stab, with the stab finished, servo installed, ready to fly. and painted.
So far, the foam as you see is about 40 grams.
the skins are 50 grams, but this is untrimmed. will be less once I glue them on and set them aside.
Im still trying to decide on which glue to use? Poly U versus epoxy resin.
I do not like the poly-u glue becuase it starts to set up quickly. and the epoxy resin gives me plenty of time to work on it.
this is to demonstrate the contact of the root cap to the fuselage side.
