RE: Desire 60 build, first jig built balsa.
Well, got the wing tubes and false ribs in today. I took the tube and put 1/64" ply on the end and CA'd it to the tube then sanded it flush to keep the epoxy out, seemed like a good idea at the time, I guess it wil work. Then I took the skins and prepped them like Toymaker told me to do and put one side in the press. It looks strait soI'll know in the morning. I beefed up my press after the stabs because I saw the MDF board stating to bend using it end to end so I added two braces and turned them perpendicular to the cores and put 16 ga. channel under them also. Weighs about a ton now and is a real bear to put on the work table. But anyway here are 2 pics of the wing and the tube cover I made for it.
