RE: 8 ft of bones! Sr Telemaster
TSCHUY,
You described the problem accurately. There is not much structure in the Telemaster wing. I have been envisioning something like you described. I believe I am going to create a "center section" out of light ply and balsa. I am trying to decide how far out this structure should extend to adequately spread the stress to the spar. At the moment I believe I will extend it to the next rib which is about 4". This will cover all the area that the rubber bands would have been in contact with. The last thing I want is to have the wing fold due to a bad attach point. I don't believe weight will be a factor since I have heard the airplane flies better with a little extra weight on board.
CCRC1,
I like the covering job. I was planning to cover mine like a liaison aircraft also. Except, I will represent the allies. Maybe we will meat on the "field of battle" one day.
