Hi Guys,
I started the build of my Jack Stafford Chipmunk. The first thing on the list is to sheet the foam cores. This is my 1st build with foam wings so it will be a learning experience. I am glueing the 1/16" balsa wing skins together with Elmer's wood glue. I have 1 wing skin glued and drying. I will attach the wing skins to the core with Gorilla Glue and sandwich them back in the foam husk and add weight and let then dry overnight.
Jack Stafford Kits are builders kits so Iam sure this thread will take a while to complete. If it looks and fly's anything like my JSM Aircoupe I will be very happy. I will be powering the plane with an OS .52 4-stroke and the finish will be Sig Koverall and paint. You cannot get a better covering job out of Iron on coverings IMHO.
I will start posting pics of the build as soon as I start sheeting the wing cores.
Anthony
