Default RE: TR-260

Mine is completely built up, fuse is truss built, only has a couple of ply bulkheads. I doubt they would be any help. Your gonna need 3 bulkheads, 1-complete 1/4" former for the firewall; 2-complete 1/4" former where the notch in the wing fits into the fuselage; 3-complete 1/4" former where the trailing edge of the wing goes into the fuselage (turtledeck headrest section). You will also need a raised floor that should join between the two bulkheads that the wing will fit between, this is where you will install servo's and such. There's a trick you can do with a piece of wire to figure out your templates, bend it to fit the inside contour of the area the bulkhead will be installed, mark of a half width point in the fuselage and mark it on the wire also once it is in place, remove the wire from the fuselage, be carefull not to distort the wire once it's in shape, carefully trace the half on a piece of posterboard or some thin cardboard material, cut out the complete "half", then trace the half onto the cardboard again, flip it over the center and trace the reverse half with center lines overlapping as one, presto! you have a fairly accurate template that may need only minor fitting. This type wing usually uses 2 bolts in the front and 2 in the back of the wing to secure it to the fuselage, if it has enough swing room at the trailing edge you could probably use the typical leading edge dowel setup. I can help you with the flying surfaces, I'm gonna see if I can scan what you will need and email it to you from work tomorrow. That way you will have full size plans of the flying surfaces to build from.
