RE: Mid Star 40 Build Thread
It's at this point when I looked at the wing and went oh sh%$#@$!. Like I said earlier, this wing is built almost identical to a 4 star wing, and I've built many 4 stars and on a 4 star you cut the servo opening on the top of the wing as it is a low wing plane. The mid star opening should be cut on the bottom of the wing, as you can see (for this step at least), my brain was in 4 star build mode and I cut the servo opening on the top instead of the bottom. The fix is easy and will in no way effect the strength of the wing. I glued scrap pieces of 1/16 balsa to the underside of the sheeting, I then cut pieces of sheeting to replace what was cut out, flipped the wing over and cut the new servo opening. The repaired section is an inch and a half wide, after the wing is joined to the fuse later on in construction, it will receive a fiberglass/epoxy wing wrap using 1 inch wide glass tape, so most of the repair will be hidden under the fiberglass tape, after filling and final sanding, you'll never know its there.
