Quark 2M - Back to cutting innocent trees!

<< < (7/113) > >>

billscottni:
It's a strip added to the edge of the existing rudder, usually with the grain running in the opposite direction to the main structure.

Happy Days:
Okay Bill, thanks.
 But this begs a further question…… :?:
Did JP reduce the original rudder & fin by the thickness of the  edging pieces, or are the rudder & fin now a little bit larger than the original parts?

JohnPearson:
Keith! I reduced the size of the rudder and fin, then added the strips of balsa, as Bill remarks 'cross grain' for strengh, the rudder is now back to the size on the plan, an old builders trick :lol:

Fred question, I have no cardon tubes, therefore could I use Aluminum 10mm tubes for the wings, the 1m tudes are 50g each, also how did you join the wings to the fusleage??

andrew wallace:
hey john i'm planning on using a couple of cup hooks on the wings  and a small rubber band or O ring to hold it together

another question fred what about the position of the CG i'm gonna put a tow hook on mine and use the bungee  :clap:

Happy Days:
A-Har, That’s the reason! :o

These little tricks are all very interesting to know.

Thanks to both JP & Bill. :D
