David K Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 My apologies for not replying.... That video was awesome! What a great flyer. The foam wings are only the outboard wings from the booms to the tips. One issue I have is how to build them up. They are already veneered with no cuts for flap and ailerons. No stringers or internal structure. I'll have to work out how I will tackle them. Maybe not use them at all and go for the full build..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David, veneered foam core wings are sometimes supplied ‘intact’ in that you are required to mark out and then cut with a sharp scalpel the ailerons and flaps (when fitted). You then have to trim off some more material in order to face the cut edges with strips of balsa. These then are slotted to take the hinges. You will also have to bevel the ailerons to facilitate their movement up and down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Bowlan Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) David if you scroll down to Pete H’s 2nd post (on page 3 of the La7 Warbird Replica thread). You will find some photos of ‘cutting the ailerons free’. HERE. Regarding your comment about ‘no stringers or internal structure’, a veneered foam cored structure is stressed skin or monocoque so does not need any.
