    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Anyway, I drilled out the spar and locking tubes for a 4-40 bolt then over drilled the spar slightly with 1/4" bit. I will cut the brass tube flush with wing skin and then I will have a pocket for easy field mounting.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I went to my downloads and looked at the great Merlyn Graves wing lock design and figured out how to use it myself. First a piece of brass tube bigger than the wing bolt and a washer sized for the 4-40 bolt. Silver solder the 2 and sand the washer to tube size.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    The other side is largely done except the 3 point bracket pieces are a little short I think. Time to crank out a couple longer ones and see.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Mostly I need to get the wings/ fuse mating complete so I can get back to one component at a time. An assembled 142" plane takes up a lot of room.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Made some more wing bolts today. I use the steel tubing to keep the nylon Bolt from bending and snapping.
