Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

[dhal22]

Time to start sanding the wings, I always leave them rough until finishing stages.

Make sure you post all your covering hiccups so I don’t repeat them!!

You will find the wings much easier to cover than the smaller parts.

Question for you covering experts. Would this tape go under the leading edge?

 

[AKNick]

Not sure. Have you looked through a polyfiber manual before? It may talk about it

I would do the rib tapes then the perimeter tape last. Did you use poly tac to put the tapes on? I also put the first coat of poly brush on before taping, pretty sure I seem this on the Stitt instructional video.

Tony, I used Poly-Tak for the perimeter serrated tape. I might try a thinned version this weekend.

Kind of painted myself into a corner..... I did not build in a way to remove/ reconnect the upper aileron push/ pull cable.

The inner connection is soon to be (mostly) inaccessible.

 

[TonyHallo]

Cut it off and put a turnbuckle on.

Dusted off the Cub and trying to resume progress. Work, lots of fishing, house projects and probably more excuses of I can think of them.

Cleared some room for wing prep. I leave sanding for right before covering.
