Hi all !
Another month has passed and the wing shells are about to being closed !
Sinds the last post i installed the wiring for servos , lighting , and retracts.
This wing is ready to be closed after i dry-fitted the top shell (out of the mould).
Before glueing the two halves together , i prepaired the second wing , thesame way , and made copies of all the parts needed for future wings.
The second wing (R)
I used some tape to protect the wiring from epoxy when closing the shells.
The last test , to see if the ribs dont touch the top shell , or the gap between ribs and shell isn't too big (to much glue ),is done by placing a small plasticine ball between ribs and shell ,before dry fitting the top shell (in the mould ).
After closing ,bolting together, and seperating the moulds again ,you can see how much the plasticine ball is crushed. In this case , the ball is reduced to aprox. 1mm , just fine !!
This is done in several spots , just to be sure . Touching ribs make the wing surface bumpy !
Too much glue is ballast !!
That's all for today , tomorrow is closing time !!
