RE: Pentathlon Kit Build
The stab skins are ready and can be glued on. In this case, I prepared the stab sleeves (fiberglass) to be glued in, and cured at the same time as the skins. I CA'd balsa to the end of each stab sleeve to as an end cap. I pre-fitted the stab sleeves and stab tubes to both cores. Notice that one stab and shuck required a slight shim to make sure they aligned just right. I found this slight error in the foam cutting program and have since fixed the program.
Polyurethane glue can be dripped into the stab tube holes, run the sleeves in with a twisting motion, and then apply glue to the inside of the skins. Assemble everything on a strong, flat surface and apply weights. If using the vacuum setup, each stab will have to be skinned first, then the tube sleeeves will be put in afterwards. However, the same alignment setup on a flat table will be required to make sure the sleeves will line up properly while curing.
Please excuse the picture without weights. I answered a phone call after placing them on the MDF and forgot to get the pic. I used approximately 50+ lbs. per stab panel.
