RE: 42% Super Decathlon Build
Finally making some progress on the wings. The strut bracket issue is resolved, thanks to help from Ken and David. I reversed the main strut brackets which gave me a half inch below the wing surface. This required filling the holes in W31, W36, W35 and W15 with dowels and redrilling. Jack mada a simple jig to insure equal spacing. I've included some pictures to illustrate this. Picture 1 shows W31 with W36 glued to it (but not glued to the wing yet), picture 2 shows the jig in place. I then glued the brackets to the wood, using gorilla glue and clamped them (picture 3). After the glue had dried, I removed the part, and redrilled, using a drill press. I then glued the assembly to the wing and attached the bolts.
