Hi Nick, being about at the same stage you're at in my building I can
imagine how you must feel. I'm not an engineer, but if this happens to me I
would probably be prone to try and repair it. Ed is right, a picture would
be helpful. I feel bad for your mishap.

Not a big deal Nick. Just cut another verticle and glue it in behind the
scarf joint.

Tough break Allen, I haven't bent mine yet. So, my heart goes out to you in
this. If your'e going to swap ends, that means taking apart all your glued
up joints, (that sounds horrible). The repair should be stronger than the
original wood. I would probably just try and repair the break, and then be
I'm at the same place you are Nick. I took it to leave off the last verticle
before the long piece that goes to the top of the vertical stabilizer. I
could be wrong; I'll read more about it this weekend. I finished the second
side this last weekend, Yay! I'm tired of the gussets!

Hi Everyone,
I'm kicking around whether to glue the plywood on before or after forming
the boat? The plans recommend before. I guess I'm afraid of breaking a longeron
in the bending process.

Dan,
It would be great to see some photos of what you're doing.

Hi Nick,
I'm at the same place your at; and I've been scratching my head abit
also. I've left the verticle at N out, and left myself about 8" extra on the
length of the longerons, (since I'm extending the length aft 6"). I wanted a
little extra to play with. I noted on Ricky Farleys webpage he g
I'm rooting for him! I like that front gear!

Hi everyone, I've searched the archives on the topic of roughing up/preping
joints prior to glueing with T-88. I recieved some input that this practice was
not recommended. I used resin bond sandpaper to roughen the joints.
Any new feelings on this? I glued up a couple of test joints, and pos
way to go Mark!

aluminum sleeves to run the bolts through?

Lots of airplanes have been built using Douglas Fir. It's a little heavier,
but also stronger than spruce.

ll this pretty much without looking at
the plans. To go with Wicks or A.S.S. co is a personal decision. I'm not
much of a kit kind of guys, so I prefer to buy the stuff as I need it. I'm
not in a big hurry for the WAFs yet, as just getting the boat built is my
first priority. I wish
Ouch, I felt overcharged.

nging the angle of
the spars to each other. It seems to me one would want enough play between the
slot in the fuselage and the spars to enable tilting the wing to set the
incidence?
Russ Kendall
Yay! that's great!!! It's so good to hear. Are you taking any video? Keep
us updated.
