Default RE: Telemaster Twin

To ease transportation I built a center wing section that mounts to the fuselage via 3/16" dowels in the leading edge with 1/4" nylon bolts in the trailing edge. The center section is 28" wide to accomodate the nacelles and 2" of prop clearance from the side of the fuselage. I took most of the diehdral out of the wing. I used 1 degree of diehdral on each side when building the center section. This section is built up from the original plans by using 3/32" sheeting and doubled up spars. 1/8" shear webbing was installed front and back of the spar. The wing halfs were joined using a 1/2" x 3/4" ply joiner that was 16" long. The nacelle area has a 1/4" ply plate where the nacelle bolts to the wing.

The sheeting is not complete in this pictures but does give you an idea of how this section is contructed.
