RE: Sheet metal flasing for wings...!

I think what you are using is aluminum. "Sheet metal" usually refers to galvanized steel (if memory serves). Still I would be interested in what the aluminum thickness is. Could you weigh the wing...

RE: Modified super deb

Either solution for the tank will work, but the tank inside the fuse will be much more attractive. Surely, there is some type bottle you can get to fit inside the gutter pipe. I have built many...

RE: F3 F3 BIPLANE

You know what the first rule in Spad is -- you thought of it -- you have to build it.

Please, plenty of pics along the way, and of course plans available when finished.

I am building a...

RE: Cor-Star AeroBAT

Randy, I stand corrected. I'm looking forward to reading the other threads in your link, especially the Ultimate Bipe.

Keep on building.

RE: coroplast

There have got to be some free sources of coro around you somewhere. Liquor stores have signs made out of this stuff all the time. Once the special is over they'll often give you the signs for...

RE: Cor-Star AeroBAT

Nice looking plane, but is it a SPAD; ie are you posting in the right forum?

Other than "sign vinyl" I don't see any references to things like alternative building materials or techniques that...

RE: ProSpad

Great looking profile.

How tall is your spar?
How far back from leading edge?
Did the aircraft balance on the spar; if not, where?
Is battery mounted inside wing?

Anything special on...

RE: Fully symmetrical wing technique

I've built wings both ways, and all of them with thin CA. Never had a problem with either. SO, choose the way that works best for you.

RE: How heavy

Papabear (over at Spadworld.net) has built several wings where he cut lightening holes into the top and bottom skins. He then covers the holes with 2" wide clear packing tape. I can't see any...

RE: 1/3 or 1/2 Scale SPADS?

I think I've seen a Spad Cub with a 12 foot wingspan. There was a video of it inflight on SpadForum.

RE: Coroplast for a foamie? x2

Hey Coasty:

You'll be a LOT happier if you build your wings out of 2mm coro. Yes, it's harder to find, but well worth the effort. I ordered mine from Cope Plastics out of Little Rock, AR (I...

RE: Post pics of recycled items useful for SPADs

DL:

I've put a thin layer of RTV silicone on the threads before screwing lid down; that works great.

I've also used a small amount of Goop. Later I found out Goop isn't fuelproof, but I...

RE: coro problems

I have a PBF with a 40LA on it. I built it full sized (24"x24") with ailerons as shown in plans (4" I think). The one change I make (I've had several of them) is to make rudder/fin 8" tall (plans...

RE: 40x40+ Coroplast?!

Regal Plastics out of Ft Worth TX sells 48"x96" sheets in both 4mm and 2mm; prices are reasonable.
Do a google search on them for their website.
Now, shipping anything that big may be a problem.

Many symmetrical wings seem to build better if you glue the trailing edge (with ailerons) without the spar in place. After that joint is dry then slide the spar in on it's side and then rotate it to...
