Change of plan:
At first, I intended to build the wing for my new Fw 190D as a take-apart with two separate halves (like the first one). I’m using a Super Tucano wing, with permission of the designer, Bene Rodrigues. I have very little time available for building model planes and I had quite a hard time trying to align the two panels, as the main spars meet exactly where I put the duralumin strips. Therefore, I decided to change my plan and am building a new wing, also take-apart from the fuse, but in one piece. I’m sorry for that, my building method worked very well, as my old Fw 190 D is more than an year old and shows no sign of fatigue; it is to be noted that each panel is assembled with only 2 screws and the model weights in excess of 2 kg – about 71 oz.
Just as an aside, I do not use piano wire for the internal control wires, but rather bicycle spokes; refer to the picture to see how the bend in the spoke is a perfect fit in the bellcrank. I use this material as it doesn’t bow and, were one to misplace a bend, it can be undone and bent again. For the horn wires, I use motorbike spokes.
Although frustrated with my inability to make the wing in two separate panels, I believe it will come out as a pretty airplane and I do hope it will fly great.
