Scale Balsa USA Camel F1

He's  probably going to clamp them. I have done this before but with one strip at a time and directly onto the structure. I was fairly successful at it but there is almost always that one tight curve that just won't quite bend all the way and it breaks, then you have to sand the curve in.

The first piece is always the trickiest if done one at a time so they likely came up with this method of doing it as an assembly because of my own difficulties and what I have gone through in some of my builds. Lol.

Very interesting....thanks pamster!

This laminating stuff is new to me. This is the first plane I'm doing it on. I soaked the strips and pre bent them. Once they dried I took them out of the jig. Glued the first one in place with Super glue. The other four strips I used Wood glue on. I didn't use clamps on these cause the strips seemed to go in place pretty well. Just used the T-pins to hold them in place.

Using the wood glue on the outer pieces will likely make the sanding to shape process easier.

Here is my first post on the refurbished site. Got a lot done since we last loged in The tail surfs are framed up and the fuse is coming along nicely.
I like the picture loader.

Here are some pictures of the tail surfaces.

Was glad you posted pictures on facebook to keep us posted while the site was being upgraded. Looks awesome.

Thanks Chris. I think we're going to happy with the site now. I'm poking around trying to learn things.

NICE, pic loader and viewer are badass. Now building season can shift into second gear and drop the hammer.

I do like the picture viewer.
But 15cc ouch!
