Scale 20cc Edge 540 Profile “The Glitter”

[Stevendavis]

Yep all sheeting is 1/16". Even sheer webs are 1/16" balsa. I built a 55cc version of this the exact same way and it held up just fine.

That info helps!! Thanks Balsa! One more question here, did you add any re-enforcement around the wing tube, or just use the ribs?? Thanks

Its something I didn't draw in on those plans I don't think but I would use a piece of 1/8" ply. Just cut a circle with the proper sized hole drilled in the middle of it.

Will do, and thanks!

Got the tube doublers cut and installed. Also got the wire access done in the ribs. The tube is just set in place, as I will not glue it in until I mount the wings on the fuse and make sure the tube is exactly where it needs to be, then I'll glue the top sheeting on. This one is about ready to set aside for now.

finished up a few more details on the wing panel before setting it aside and starting on the other. I added some doublers for the hinges, as well as an anti rotation pin block, and some doublers for the servo opening. I also got the aileron built.

Don’t rush it this dam epidemic is going to be around for a while.

Hey snoop,
I'm taking my time as much as possible. Hopefully this lockdown stuff will end soon. One good thing about no school is I can use the parking lot to get some flying in!!

Parts are ready!
