Default RE: 130 Flaps

Pic. 1. Repeat the steps for the 2 outer engine nacells. (see a few posts ago). You'll have to tack glue on some small aproxx. 1/4" thick temporary spacers to the frame's face on the outer engine nacells. This is because I moved my nacells to a more scale spacing. (Remember, the wider the spacing, the more reliable engines you'll need.) The taper difference of the wings LE from the main center section (the inner two nacells) to the two outer nacells is about 1/4". The nacell pockets will have some gaps and or may need trimming because of the outer panel (top of wing is flat/ bott. tapers up and the progressive twisting of the washout).

Remember. The wing has to be glassed, fully cured and scuffed good in the areas of the nacells, also inside and out of the fiberglass nacells before you tack glue nacells to the wing. I then use BVM aero-poxy to first put a bead of this thick/gap filling epoxy system all around the fiberglass nacells.

Pic. 2. After the epoxy glue has fully cured, This glue is lighly sanded to remove the shine and then I used about a 1" wide 2oz glass cloth both inside and out and all around the nacells. Dont forget to stuff some way in the back of the nacell too.

Later,

Gunny
