RE: B-36 build thread and free plans
Now that I have a trailing edge to work with, I can begin to create a wing mount.
The first photo shows the area where the wing mount would go. The flat horizontal oversized rails are basswood. I am cutting them down with a dremel tool to reduce weight. I thought that I needed some extra strength here so I used basswood.
I started the wing mount with 1" thick very light balsa blocks and lightly CA'd them in to place. I hope that I can free this up without much damage. This is shown in the second photo.
The next two photos will be in the next post.
I carved away quite a bit of these 2 pieces and then added 1" thick very light balsa at the ends. I am still figuring it out, but I believe that these will be used to hold the wing to the fuse. I can lighten up all of these pieces later when I get everything figured out. The end blocks can be seen in the third photo.
I began to shape these pieces to match the contour of the fuselage as shown in the fourth photo.
Mike
