Started off today with inter-rib bracing, after I strighten all the ribs, I put a small dab of Poly brush on lacing tape to keep the rib from moving ( it's not in the book, I just thought it would help).
Also, as I wraped the tip bow.
I covered the inside corners of the aileron bays, I pre-coated the pieces with poly brush (helps keep clean edges on the material when you trim) and then Poly tak them in place.
A pencil works well to push the material into 90 degree corners.
We dry fit5 the blanket to the top of the wing.
Nobody snapped a shot of Poly Taking the leading edge, so I thought I would show you what we used to keep the Tak smooth, use a squeegy and start in the center and push the Tak out and down, smoothing all the glue. Doing only 2 bays at a time. When you are doing a inside corner, like the aileron bay was 2 squeegies to keep from pulling the material out of the inside edge.
Cut out were the spar sticks out of the butt rib, again bush a lite coat of poly brush on all areas to be cut.
Then pulled back the material and Poly taked the butt rib.
After finishing the wing root area we moved on and completed the aileron bay rib ends.
After the Tak dried, brushed on some Poly brush at the back of the leading edge sheet metal to in order to trim the material to the edge of metal (when dried).
We did finish covering both side of 1 wing but, I'll have to take care of some work business now, I'll finish posting tomorrow.
The leading edge looks wrinkled but, have not ironed the bottom yet, the bottom blanket comes all the way around to about 2" from the back of the sheet metal on the top, no trimming (factory edge) it will all tighten up nicely.
