RE: Insight build...another wood roach.
Continued to work on the wings as they will be the first to get into the finishing stage (monokote or paint) while I continue to finish up the fuse and prepare it for glassing and paint.
- sanded the wing roots flush to wing skins
- laid out the location for the wing adjusters (near trailing edge)
- inserted adjuster socket into the wing root
- transferred this location to the side of the fuse - to do this I referenced from the flat canopy deck down the sides of the fuse on a piece of tape at the trailing edge and leading edge of the wing. This gave me a good starting point for the adjuster slots
- used 1/16" ply to attach adjusters to the inside of the fuse
- 1/16" ply washers mounted to inside of fuse at the wing stud locations
- laid out the ail. servo locations on the wing panel.....also double checked the wing depth at this location using a pin, just to make sure the servo would'nt bottom out against the wing's top skin
- drilled the ail. servo lead holes using my v-block wing tube guide (sorry, no pics...but look further back in this thread for my wing tube drilling setup)
- built balsa boxes around each servo
- cut through the wing skin using the servo box as a guide and removed foam.....luckily, I found the ail. servo lead holes right where they were suppossed to be.
- double checked fit and glued in servo box using polyurethane glue.
