Stuck the timber ( 1/16 laminations ) under the tap at the Max. Curve area ,
used PVA on one face ( inner ) of the second Lam. on , spread even.
Rubber band around across chord to hold them while fitting .
Ive marked the spar / LE cuts etc on the template , so they get cut right.
Once theyre all on , masking tape at spar pulling Em In , and following out - rolling the assembly on the board to Tighten the Joint
as you go .
Ive left the thing on the template for 24 hours , and it didnt ' spring ' like the last ones . Though the woods a good deal softer ,
you dont have to use your best wood for these , as the Glue is Half the Strength .
These are for the plank wing Mk 8 / Mk 11 Spitfire .
Take care the cut edge of the templates good and square . I rasped , filed and block sanded it after cutting with the old handsaw .
its 3/4 Pine . the Building supply had none in its skip the last few months , so I had to buy a 2 ft. offcut for $ 4.20 .
The skips good for ' sets ' of offcuts , like 1 in x 3/8 in. , to use for packers & things when building, and straight planks of a few foot for weighting down & aligning stuff . And stuff about 4 x 3 for canopy & deck moulds .
Got to do a nasty Deck or Two over a Plug ; so I will throw the pictures here in a few weeks , We Hope . As In when I doim .
