This is where I will make periodic entries regarding the build progress of my kit. I will post photos, and discuss work completed or problems encountered.

Bonding v-stab ribs in place

Post by MikeFairbanks »

Today I broke out the hysol and bonded the ribs into the vertical stabilizer for good. Lots of clamps to hold everything while the hysol cures... and some little rib holders, that keep the ribs perpendicular to the vertical tube. I had these made on Send Cut Send... they have a $29 minimum order, so I had 30 of them made to reach that amount... I ended up using 14.
