rogallo:
Well Fred, Gerry B is on to us. Are you going to be in Limerick for the week? Winds look okay and plenty of sun. :D
Fred:
Hey Ralph,
Yep, for the week :) I stay at the Strand.
Pint(s) tonight with Gb! :D Want to join? :D
Otherwise, for Wednesday, should be at Ballina at around 5 - 5.20. Can't remember where to go from there, but if you are going up via Limerick or the M7, we can catch up on the way :?:
rogallo:
Would love to but a 200 mile round trip for a few pints, now that would be a bit Irish. Ill meet ye on Wed night.
head into the town, Goosers pub is on the right pass it :( and head straight through the little roundabout. drive straight on and look for a right turn up the hill ( signposted Graves of the L...) head up the hill and look for a right turn down a very small road ( after 100 M you should cross a yellow and black bridge, if not you have missed the turn off). Head up the "road" a few miles looking right for a road up the side of the hill with cats eyes on it. We will be at the summit.
Hope this is okay Ger?
Fred:
You are not a real Irish! :lol:
Thanks for the direction, I should recognise the place (hopefully!)
I'll give one of you a call if I get lost anyway :D See you on Wednesday :D
Fred:
After a week away from the workshop, it was time yesterday to glue some wood again! :D
This time, with the wings.
So far, so good, no issues and my workshop was, for once, clean enough to start the 2 wings at the same time.
Anyway, nothing out of the ordinary. Spars glued first (I used 2x8x8mm pine wood) and then, the ribs glued to the spar, starting from the root to the tip...
Everything is glued with white glue.
Some "modules" like the airbrakes support and the servo boxes are built apart, then glued on the spar (classic!)
After roughly an hour, the white glue was dry enough to glue the top spar.
And as a preview, here is a quick look at the next steps, the trailing edges.
Start to look like a wing!
Tonight's jobs :
Glue the first ribs at the correct angle (2 degrees)
Glue the aileron's LE
Glue the TE of the wings
Getting there, hope to get the first photos of the fuselage with the wings on Wednesday :D
