  1. I have to work this way as I have great difficulty using pins. Finished shaping the LE and TE aileron spar then added the scrap balsa for the hinges and wing plate. Then added the TE cap strip, again 17 mm cut off a 100 mm sheet which leaves enough for the LE top sheet. I spotted a mistake. Too late now. 😭 For me anyway but John my club mate has not got this far. Maybe. LE top sheet next. 🤔 I have been thinking of some more bright ideas 💡 😭 Steve
  2. Thanks Peter. The leading edge cut at an angle then sanded to shape with the aid of a few test fits, Once happy I turn the LE full sheet over and cut to width, again at an angle, then glue, Not a good photo but shows the LE and the packing. After shaping That's better. Steve
  3. Root rib glued at some sort of angle. Pulled up the LE sheeting. Ample weight to keep the wing flat to the board. 1/8", 1/4" and 1/16" packing to keep the sheet in contact with the ribs along their length. Steve
  4. Top spar added using clothes pegs to clamp the shear webs to the spar, saves buying 2" bulldog paper clips. and dihedral braces glued. I also remembered the paper tube but should have done it after the braces because it's in the way of the clamps.😳 the bottom brace was kept up 1/16" using scrap ply, which I had just pulled back when the clamps were in place as I didn't want it to be permanent. 🤣 Steve
  5. Shear webs completed and test fitted. Started with the glue on the web then butting up the next rib. Continued adding webs and ribs. Here we are half way. and all done waiting for something Ah yes glue to dry. I can't add the root rib until the paper tube is installed. Steve
  6. 562 mm 22" is the width from root to last rib. Set up a jig and cut six spars. Cut two 100 mm1/16" sheets to this width then cut off a 17 mm strip for the TE cap strip, Glued the spars to the edge of the LE and TE with the help of a ruler, Test fitted the ribs to locate the TE, Glued the tip rib, and started cutting the shear webs, The root rib will be at an angle for the required dihedral. From the plan it's 3/4" at 22" from the root so 2 degrees say, by rule of thumb. More shear webs to make for both wings including the dihedral one. Steve
  7. It was my Christmas present to myself two years ago and I have just opened it. The extra wood is for the T31M, Started The Ohmen Next is to measure and cut the spars and LE/TE sheet ready for glueing. Steve
  8. Thanks Peter but I bought the plan as well. all three sheets. Anyone think there's a lot of wood there?
  9. Having given the plan away I had better correct some mistakes. Now get the second plan pack out and start building again but this time leave the servos in the fuselage. That was the first big mistake. I will also include windshield and pilot.
