    We tend to use the high spot on the root for the tube if possible. Dev wing is a good program. I Like your drawing. Good luck with it

    The Hysol we used to glue engine box is dry so we test fit it into the top plate and test how the fuselage sides also line up before gluing the engine box onto the top plate.

    So while we were waiting for glue to dry and we had the top plate available we went ahead and put in the 3/8" sq balsa cross members for additional support

    Actually it is very easy to do. We do it without instructions!! LOL We are actually are doing this at the shop stealing time between real work. Alky6 is watching the thread and he built one of our kits last year. I think it was one of his first builds. I am sure he will give you his opinion...

    We'd add more pictures but we're waiting for glue to dry. We assembled the engine box today and use Hysol epoxy to glue it together. It give you lots of working time but it also takes time to cure fully.

    To pretty much finish up the work on the fuselage sides for a bit the final step is to glue the longerons in place. Each side has a top and bottom longeron. Since this airplane utilizes a Balsa rear top plate we decided to glue the top longerons directly to the top plate (traditionally we have...

    One thing to mention on the doublers is while the wing and tail doublers are pretty self explanatory in how they line up due to the tube holes and such the fuselage side doubler has a mark denoting what side is top because if you were to look at it quickly you may not notice a difference in the...

    Now there is one more area that needs a doubler for support and that is at the rear of the fuselage that incorporates the tail tube support, horizontal fin mounting, and rudder servo mounts. One thing you will notice with this doubler is it has a hatch built in so if you ever drop a servo lead...

    So, along with the doubler for the joint on the fuselage sides there are a couple of doubles that need to be glued into place before you glue all the formers in. With the balsa sided fuselage we needed to put a doubler in place for the wing attachment area. Traditionally you will see...

    Actually it was Kevin's design. I don't think he ever saw a Sig Kobra. I think old style T Birds was the influence. Not sure he's old enough to remember an sig kit!! LOL

    So late today we started putting things together to start a build. I wanted to just get the longerons done tonight but couldn't find my small miter box to cut them and I hate doing it by hand( wild ass cut). Kevin goes to me " how long do you want the scarf joint" Walks over to the computer...

    Earl, I am not sure Rob saw or could read the real fine print on the purchase. it states " That the builder/owner or test pilot is allowed ONE Flight without wheel pants, any additional outdoor or public displays of the aircraft voids all sales and the aircraft is in default and will be...
