Spars done

spars.jpgI finished up my wing spars tonight, all in all it was an easy build. My transmission went out on the Explorer and is gonna cost 1500.00 bucks to fix........ So that will delay my next and last aluminum order for a few months. Time to make wing ribs and tidbits.

It's been a busy summer with kids sports, boating and working. The boats are put away and the time has come to start drilling some holes. I'm getting ready to start my spars and I have to admit that I'm not looking forward to these, don't know why, just dreading them.

I finished my flaperons tonight. I was not looking forward to these, but found them very easy to scratch build. First one took the longest and it got faster after that. I logged 6.5 hours from cutting the skin out to having the part finished.
Now its on to the spars...... hoping I only have to build 2.

Hi Jesse, have added u to the friends list will do some photos for you, my first flap had a bow in it which was caused by having to pull up the trailing end to get the predrill holes to line up, next one I drilled these holes last after all riveting was done and flap it straight as an arrow.chat soon
Hi Jesse
Nice to meet you at KBRD. Please stop up sometime and we will go for a 701 flight.
Mike
Howdy neighbor.....thanks for the greeting. Waiting on my 701 kit...another couple of weeks. Any other Mn builders that you know of?
