Default RE: Phoenix 6 - Start # 2

Both panel's brought up to spec's, tip plate's on, sanded even at TE. Core's sanded, will finish sand, get ready to cover. I will mark the root, fore and aft for the center spar's. Some guy's use only one spar here, it works OK, I will put a rear one in also. Have to watch these area's, retract's going in, if it hit's, spar will have to be located adjacent to wheel wells. Dual wing servo's here, as in P-6 #1. Wire's will travel thru the same tunnel as the retract pressure tubes. The 1/16" sheet's will cover the rear stock at the TE. I already checked out the finished aileron's to the wing, perfect fit, and they are already glassed, finished white.
Shop is a mess right now, and finished old time pattern planes about, plus they are spilling over into the house. Wife is cool on this subject. There is a problem with the finished tip's, may have to do the plywood template sandwich new carved tips after all. If you have not seen this done before, nice way to do wingtip's, they come out a perfect match, L&R. Picture's 1 & 2 are the tip's.

Next up, skin 'em, maybe after holiday, company leaves. I said in last post, I had to get a piece of glass, best for cutting MK and splicing skin's, rolling LE to surface. I was ready to go to the glass shop, they can cut and edge a piece any size you need, 1/4" is good. The house behind me, threw out a very nice dining room hutch cabinet, I drove past, and the top shelf had a 1/4"X15"X38" finished piece of glass. It's in my shop, N/C.
