The above pic shows the fruit of last<br />
night’s labour and the GWS 2BBMG<br />
metal gear servos I’ll be using on this<br />
project. They’re pretty noisy from what<br />
I recall but their ruggedness makes for<br />
ideal use in a slope soarer bound to have<br />
some rough landings.<br />
Part 4, 05 November 2010<br />
Part four got underway night before<br />
last but about 10 minutes in to my soul<br />
cleansing activities our dear Eskom<br />
decided that it’s bed time for me<br />
F#and$%!!!. Working in the proximity to<br />
sharp tools by candle light didn’t appeal<br />
to me.<br />
I managed to find some 8x3mm spruce<br />
(very scarce to find) and a sheet of 6mm<br />
AAA grade balsa from Airborne Passion<br />
at a princely sum. I must admit that at<br />
least it is very good quality wood, not<br />
the usual crooked and wavy stuff some<br />
hobby shops stock.<br />
The shear webs were made by gluing<br />
35mm strips of cross grain balsa end to<br />
end and then cutting the tapered profiles<br />
from this strip.<br />
The spruce was glued with polyurethane<br />
wood glue and clamped to prevent<br />
distortion. Formers F5A and B were<br />
then glued in position on F5 as per the<br />
instructions.<br />
