RE: MY KADET LT-40 BUILD
A bit of work done today:
As mentioned at the beginning of this thread I am using Titebond II for the basic construction unless otherwise stated.
PHOTOS 1 & 2: Die-cut balsa wing sheeting WS-T3 glued in place between the top rear spar and T.E.
PHOTOS 3 & 4: Die-cut balsa wing sheeting WS-B1 glued in place between the bottom main spar and the L.E.
I love these die-cut parts. No sanding or trimming has been required yet, they all fit perfectly into place.
PHOTO 5: Reglued all the joints of the shear webs top and bottom.
PHOTO 6: My method of running beads of glue. Got to take care to barely touch the plunger to achieve even flow of glue throughout the application. This method works real well although the tip of the syringe did start to get clogged couple times and squirted a bit too much, but then I just evened it out with a Q-tip.
PHOTOS 7 & 8: Sanding the root ends of the spars, leading and trailing edges flush with the W1 rib.
PHOTOS 9 & 10: Checking the straightness of the root end after sanding.
PHOTOS 11 & 12: Checking the DRG dihedral angle again after sanding the root end flush.
