Actually I already have the 1/64" ply at home, a got them through misunderstanding while ordering the contest balsa... Obviously it would be nice to use the thin ply instead of go and get some more balsa sheets for a rebuild turtle deck.
I just got off the phone with my mate and we are up for sheeting the wings this weekend (all weekend but only during evening time) at his workplace workshop. Since this is planed to happen on fri evening after I have been flying skydivers, all this in another city, I need to prepare all needed items (wings, skins ect) for a fairly quick operation. For this I am planing to sheet both sides of all the wing in one go.
Some people that is sheeting with vaccum is not edge glue the balsa sheets at all, but are mearly tapeing them together as it all is going to be laminated anyway. I am thinking about using this method but are still undecisive on that one.
Also I need to insert the balsa into the foam cores for the horns before going to this workshop. As well as think about the size of all the control surfaces to be cut out, as I would like to use the fine band saw to cut them out while I am still there. Otherwise I will have to pay another visit for this and I dont know when I could come back for all the nice tools they have there...
By the way, this school/work shop is located at the very same airport as where the Hawker Hunter is living.
For this stunt I will attempt to go for the vaccum technique (as stated before) to get a strong structure that need a minimum of resin for weight saving purposes. If things would not work as hoping for there is loads of weights we could use to weight down the cores with.
Lets hope I will manage to get everything ready for this and that there will be no snags.
I will weight the difference btw 1/16" balsa sheet and the 1/64" ply.
