Scale Rodel Model Cessna 182 Skylane

[TonyHallo]

It looks like part 30 was glued on backwards, the bevel on 30 should match the rib profile.

Tony, I put a piece of trinagle stock underneath 30, it seemed to fix the issue. Anyone seen a wing that has part of it not sheeted like this? I plan on using Ultracoate or something similar. Any suggestions on what type of covering to use?

 

[TonyHallo]

There is another option called Neucover sold by Value Hobbies, never use it but have good things about it

Tony, do you know how I can fix this problem? The front of the wing will not sit flush with the fuselage side. The picture shows the gap towards the front. Its about a 5mm

I would finish the wing, mount the wing with plastic wrapping film install on the wing, then fill the gap a Bondo like product or epoxy thickened with microballoons and chopped fibers. You will want to add dams around the wing dowels and bolts to prevent sticking. Here is a photo of the Cherokee wing, I did the opposite, plastic film on the fuselage, installed the wing, I used Superfil to fill the gap. Superfil is a thickened epoxy product. You can do the wing of the fuselage, your choice. If you do the wing, make sure to use something easy to sand.

The formers do not touch the sides of the fuselage. Do I just fill the gap with Hysol?
