Default RE: Byron Wedell Williams Racer Build

Allen and KC welcome along.

Allen,
Been missing you at the field hope you can get some stick time soon.


The fuse was replummed on the bench to work on the Horizontal stab. Careful measuring and sanding here to get the stab level and at the 0 degree incidence. The stab will get covered before installation.

Next is the balsa rudder post. Template is cut from plans and glued to the balsa stock with 3M mounting adhesive. Sand to shape and it's done. It's sanded to fit by hand and will be set 1/8 in behind the fuse TE. Made a "feeler gage" to be consistent. Once the fit good I measured the midline and drilled then placed the Robart hingpoints. Last is to cut glue then drill the 1/2x1 in balsa blocks to the post to give the hingpoints more purchase.
