I'm drowning, in bits of an Mu28
Happy Days:
More information! Thanks Ger, Yes I did pick up on what Fred had said about not using the floor, thanks.
Since I’d read that I started looking at our kitchen table. It’s a solid old thing and Mandy goes to England for a week next month :D , so I’d been thinking about using that. (in secret of course) Only problem is that it’s just under 2mtrs. :!:
Thanks for the idea about using a flush door. (BTW. Whilst I can see a vague correlation between flush doors and toilets, a toilet that uses a liquid to transport biological waste by means of a siphon is called a flushing toilet, as a verb,. Not a flush toilet. Oh do shut up Keith! :roll: ……..Okay,) Back to model planes….. I’ll give that matter of using a door some more thought.
As for the obechi, yes you are quite right it was in one of the pictures. I remember ‘Copydex’ glue from years ago. As I recall it has a very pungent smell. Didn’t know they still made it. (Used to be the glue of choice for sticking ‘Formica’ covering to old tables tops and kitchen cupboard doors didn’t it?) Useful to know that it can be used for covering the wing core. Thanks for that information as well Ger.
This is what I need lads, lots of input……….I have a lust for knowledge.
Keith.
rogallo:
Hi Keith,
whats "Formica"?
Just kidding, it is the stuff you use on timber when it you wooden engine mount is soggy with glow fuel!
Good luck with the build..
Happy Days:
Never used glow fuel Ralf so I wouldn’t know what you’re talking about! :?:
I.C. = old technology. Before my time I’m afraid!!! :?
Keith :lol:
Brian:
Hi Keith,
Copydex is ok but it is a contact adhesive - instant in other-words.
For a big wing like that I would advise epoxy or perhaps Icema.
Anyway something to allow you time to align everything so as to get a straight wing.
Bent wings do fly, and all too often, but they do not fly good.
I would also advise doing one skin at a time to help with this.

Happy Days:
:?: :?: HHHmmmmm Brian,………….
If I might ask you a slightly personal question, :oops: er; How long is your work bench? :wink:
(Now there’s a question you don’t get asked every day!!)
Living only 10 or so Km from me……..I was wondering, after we spoke today, if I could borrow your bench just to glue the wings of the Mu. :D
What do you say old fruit?
