CA Model's Eclipse Kit
I have had the chance to finish the wings now.
This being the kit version, I thought I might share a few notes.
The wing sheeting is applied with what appears to be epoxy( I may be wrong) .. In cutting out the ailerons, I saved the center section of "5/8 " That was cut from between the wing and aileron.
I did a few destructive pulls on this piece of sheeting, Its adhesion to the foam was very adequate, destroyed the foam center, leaving small pieces of foam securely attached to the outer sheeting. No delamination from the sheeting.. Safe and sound.!
The ailerons and servo location are marked on the bottom of the wing , I added to the cutout 1/4" for the TE capping of the wing, and 3/8" for the Aileron LE capping. The aileron is near 7/8" thick at the hingline, so 3/8 was used to allow for enough bevel for the center hinging.
I chose to put in a carbon fiber tube, so I did not use the supplied sockets or wing tube ( Which mine were to short anyway) . No idea why, but as you see above, Marcelo has them set inboard a bit, so the 24" Tube will work on this arrangement.
The supplied LE material was nice. Cut with 1/8" to spare for sanding.
The wings needed very little attention to sanding before I started surrounding with wood. The foam LE, tip, root, etc , were straight right out of the box. I vacuumed off the cores and went to work.
Same holds true for the stab. Everything fit perfect, especially the stab to fuse fit. It was perfect. The marked holes for the tubes were right on.
Anybody want in photos of any of this, let me know, as I am taking pictures along with each section.
Also several photos will be on my web-page this weekend.
