Okay, time to start gluing.  I won’t do a lot of pictures, since it’s almost the same as my previous Skyray 110.  I’ll just do pics of things that are different from the first build.


The wing goes together too easily.  Everything fits just right the first time, in no time. 






As I said earlier, the fuse is ¼”, but the Maker will cut 3/32” max thickness.  So I’m laminating two 3/32” and one 1/16” fuse blanks, sandwiching the 1/16” between the two 3/32” blanks.  Man!  This fuse is not flexing.  My first 110 fuse would twist with prop torque, but this thing ain't gonna twist at all.






I learned a couple of new things.  I use Glad cling wrap over the plane to glue everything up, since CA doesn't stick to the cling wrap.  But, CA DOES stick to Glad Press N' Seal....  Don't do it! 

Also, I made a new building board using some purple foam that Home Depot was pushing for projects.  I taped two sheets together with 3M Heavy Duty clear packing tape to make a 24"x38" to fit the desk area I have in the spare room.  I normally tape the Glad cling wrap with scotch tape to the building board.  But as I was tearing off the wrap and trying to lay it on the board, I found that the Glad wrap sticks to the tape.  Hmmm....  So I placed two vertical strips of the packing tape on the building board, and then stretched the cling wrap over them to hold it in place.  Works great!  When I'm done with this project, I'm going to put several strips on the board so that I can hold down the cling wrap this way for all future builds.

More to come…

That is fantastic!  I had so much fun with the flat wing Skyray when i was teenager in the 90's.  This would have been great then.  I might just have to build one of these with the built up wing!
