RE: CAP or Extra?
Iam almost done with the wing. Need to fill a little and sand.Your tip about sanding the aileron while mounted makes sense - I am off maybe 1/32 by the aileron linkage.
Ialso managed to come out with one airleron 3/32nd inch longer than the other. I cut off the 1 inch per the instructions and glued it to end of the TE, but guess i mis-measured on side. I could fix it, or leave it. It is not noticeable to the eye.
I don't quite understand what you staggered. My staggering generally occurs when Ileave the bar!
I did add extra sheeting to overlap behind the joints in the various pieces of center sheeting and put some additional 1 inch wide pieces of 3/32 on the back of the center sheeting to stiffen it up. Also put some triangular stock on where the top sheeting meets R1. Ifigure this will all add a little strength and rigidity into the center of the wing.
Your airleron fits incredibly well - amazing work. Ican see why you use those hinges. I have used the CAhinges but may try robart next time around.
Did you epoxy the cap strips on?I used tite bond. Should Igo back and add some epoxy to strenghten? The whole wing seems very strong at this point. I am starting to see that you come out with a stronger plane when you kit build versus an ARF.
I still have the fuse put together (tape and rubber bands) from when Ifirst starting looking at the kit. I am thinking that Iwill be using titebond where it says to use thin/medium CA. Ihave a syringe that Iused when Iwas messing with wood glue last year - Ifigure Ican use that to get the glue in pretty accurately from the inside.
The wing is very cool to look at. Not as pretty as yours, due to my overgluing, but still cool. Icould see building the second kit Ihave and just hanging it, uncovered, in the house somewhere. Iam sure my wife would love it!
