RE: Super Kaos Junior Build

RE: Super Kaos Junior Build

One final post for tonight. One other small change I made to the original wing plan was to shorten the rib faces slightly (by 1/8 in) so that a sub-leading edge strip could be used. I have used this...

RE: Super Kaos Junior Build

I was able to get panel set up on the wing jig. One change I did make to the structure was to redesign the front wing dowel hold down system. A 1/4 in thick balsa rib was cut and a pocket created for...

RE: Super Kaos Junior Build

I had a Great Planes wing jig laying around so I decided to use that to build the wing. After fabricating the wing ribs the other parts of the wing structure need to be fabricated. In my opinion the...

RE: Super Pacer Build Thread - Sorta

Nice job so far. I bet you can trim quite a few ounces out of the airframe and still retain all the strength.

RE: Ace Super Pacer - I'm building, any tips?
