Building the first FJ-4-36 from Eric's laser cut parts. Discovered a few errors in my CAD drawings but all will be corrected before Eric creates the final version of the laser parts. This is why we build prototypes, to catch the things that are hard to translate from 3 dimensions to a 2 dimension drawing. Having swept wings really makes it interesting..
First photo is removing the parts from the sheets, I really love laser cut parts.
2nd photo is the start of the wings, it builds identical to the FJ-4-15 just bigger. The wings are built in halves then joined together in the center. Makes it easier to cut and trim the sheeting.
3rd photo shows all the top sheeting applied. This is done while the wing is still held down to a flat building surface to hopfully keep it straight. The ribs are cut with built in tabs to set the dihedral and keep everything straight.
