Default RE: Phoenix 5


ORIGINAL: dbacque

No template, no picture, no nothing. But I figured that the stab should be sheeted, then joined and then the fuse would have to be slotted to accept it.

A friend recommended that the stab halves be glued to the fuse without slotting, then glassed. Couldn't see that being accurate enough.

The fuse does have a raised area where the stab goes but it won't be accurate by a long shot. I guess I'll slot, shim 'till it's square and has the right incidence. Then glass.

Should be a great airplane. Just didn't want to build it wrong.

Thanks,
Dave
I glassed the center section of the stab before inserting it in the fuselage.
