Wing progression

Today appeared to be pretty productive, got quite a bit done in an hour, managed to get the base of the wings glued on, and am halfway through gluing on the upper skin. Twinwall is again proving hard to trim in a nice straight line, especially if you're cutting diagonally across the flutes, so it's a bit messy.


I've had to secure some parts with tape (due to mistakes/trying to get the twinwall to bend), so it does look a bit shabby, but the finished product will be much nicer.

The more I look at the pictures, the more shabby it becomes. I swear it looked nicer in the workshop.

Things to do next session:

• Finish the gluing
• Construct the ailerons
• Attach the wing to the fuselage

I'm still thinking about the optimum angle of attack for our plane (if any). I was initially going for zero, but recent suggestions have said otherwise...

Pt. 2

Some more pictures - we've marked out the twinwall and we are going to glue the bottom and the top section together ( ideally we would have done the bottom section, then folded across the front of the wing, but our material unfortunately wasn't large enough).

After the long break..

Yes, I realise there hasn't been an update for quite some time now, but now we are striving to get as much work done as possible before the term ends. But first, a few pictures and updates, to get an idea of the progress we've made.


We've completely glued the wing ribs to the spar and also have marked out the twinwall to skin the wing with (yes, I know this is very littel progress but holidays have limited, well absolutely blocked, access to the workshop)
