RE: hybrid wing problem
Crash...Yep me too! sheeting didn't quite make it.
I'm a bit confused with something you said. You said that if you run a straight edge on top of your wing (trailing edge), there is no gap at r2 and root rib. don't see how that could be possible if the ribs stop getting fatter at r3 (my r3, r2 and root rib are now about the same thickness at the te). To get the results you say would require making r2 a bit fatter than r3 and making the root rib even larger than r2. ????
I am finishing up the framing of the second wing today and i will have both wings off the building board permanently. I chose to frame up both wings one at a time. I will then add the trailing edges, le, caps and such to both wings at the same time. I will also sand in the leading edge to both wings (little at a time) to both wings at the same time. I have sanded in leading edges a few times in my hobby career and I hate it !! do you or mike have any advice/tricks. Last time i did this a built the omp 80" yak. I did one wing half then the other. After i compared the two leading edges they were slightly different [&o] ...had to play with them to get them the same. I even had gone through the trouble of building a guide to hold the sand paper in a curve. I really thought it would give be a consistent curve but it didn't work at all ( another big waste of time). It took me a while to build that contraption and about a minute of use to figure out it wasn't going to work...[:@]
