Hello All
MasterAlex I appreciate the work you have done to post a build thread, I stumbled on it today and am subscribed. I bought a hog kit a couple years ago, and backed off because I figure I need more building skills, and building time.,and spare time. I have read Hooks thread cover to cover.
I have no experience with sheeting. My only question is which type titebond glue folks prefer, it seems there are several. Is there an elmers = TIA Fred
I agree with Cubfloater, any of the yellow wood glues will work fine if that is youe preference.
I guess a biplane is probably not something for a first time builder to take on but if you have built a kit before you can build the Hog Bipe.
The parts fit together real good and there are not any real gotchas about the kit.
Having said that I screwed up the second lower wing panel because it was so easy to build I didn't bother checking the plans and I built two identical wing panels. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR But I have a fully equiped woodworking shop and was able to recover fairly easily. It would have been a lot harder without the table saw.
So .... moral of the story is follow the directions, take your time, if you need to ask questions there are lots of Hog Bipe builders here to help, and don't get cocky because it is going so well and you will be fine.
