    3D 75cc 106" HyperLITE Slick 540 by Fibertech N More

    The wings got there LE and TE stock glue in place and shaved down. I like to mark the center point at each end and then stick a pin just below the mark. This allows me to hold the straight edge in correct position so I can draw the center line. I used my 30 some year old razer plane to remove...

    I’m thinking the new cowl plug is good enough. It needs a little sanding yet and a good coat of paint then time to start on mold frame. I posted all the pics from start to finish showing the transition.

    For cutting the hinge material I use a band saw and rip fence. I don’t have a good table saw or I would use it but the band saw works ok for me for now. Maybe not as smooth a surface as the table saw would do. On the longer hinge line of the ailerons I like to use a good...

    Over the weekend I was able to get the wing foam cut and sheeted. I only put a couple strips of CF in. I used one strip down the wing tube and one down the length of the control surface. I won’t do any lightning cut outs on the ailerons so didn’t add a lot of carbon. I forgot to take pics but I...

    Never used balsarite only cheap airisall (sp) hair spray before covering to seal the balsa grain a little and hit it with fine sandpaper. Then tack cloth. The trick to no rinks is to get covering as tight as possible by hand before puting heat to it.

    Looking good. I'm sure it's just me but the only thing I never like about this type of set up was the seeing all the slots. Depending on covering choice it will hide most of them. I still may try somthing like it somday.
