 "Cloudster" Construction Project Session #39

Speed 400 Cloudster Project
 
Here are summary pictures of the construction of the left half of the wing..................Tandy
 
Jigging, Clamping, and Gluing left tip panel to left inner panel.
 
Block Filling the wing Tip with Soft Balsa.
 
1/16" Plywood Polyhedral Brace.
 
This shows a picture of the finished left half of the wing with the plywood brace glued in place.
 
This picture shows both the right and left halves of the finished wing. Each half weighed in identically at 23 grams (0.81 oz) for a total weight of 1.62 oz without the center section. It looks like the wing structure weight may come in at or near 2 oz. 
 
Barring tomorrow unforeseen events, I will build the center section and join the wing halves...........Tandy
