Sorry Curtis, I was planning on staying up all night and then I grab the wrong pills, I'm collor blind DAM!!! purple looks like blue to me. Well I guess you can say I was UP ALL NIGHT. I'm so freaking glad I don't have cats.

Wrong.... on many levels....

just wrong!

Back to building tonight, I'll be gluing the wing sockets in, I also can't forget to cut the foam for the servo wires. I'm going to set up the servos inside the wings, like the composite 2.6 Yak. This way the servo arm is directly line up with the aileron clevis, I believe this set up holds trim better.

Are you saying if you had cats you would have been kicking them ? Or that they would have had something to scratch ?

OUCH!!!!

Went to the gutter, came out, and right back again

Is Primo still in the gutter?? OR maybe he's clean now....

I guess that depends on which pills he is taking ! Dang Primo how many kids are you trying for ? Its time to get back to building this plane, ain't it ?

LOL!!! As long as I stay away fron the Tequila I shouldn't have any more.

Is been crasy at home with the kids gettin ready for Schooll, but I manage to get some building time in.

I have glued in the blocks on the wing root cap, just have to sand them and drill the holes for the blind nuts. I also glued the blocks where the studs are going to go thru.

What I did next was to get the wing socket glued in the wing.

First I cut two small pices of 3/8 balsa to hold the tube socket support against the foam, this will keep the glue from pushing the ply, the picture will explain this better.

Did you seal up the end of the socket so glue can not get into it when sheeting ?

In order to get a good amount of glue on the wing socket I took the wing out of the chucks laid it on the table and used tape to open the gap just a little. I used some scrap balsa on the edges to ptrotect the foam.

So far so good, No turning back now.

With the wing socket in place I started to add glue back and forth while rotating the socket, once I was sure I had enough glue. I removed the tape and installed those two pices of balsa and I put the wing back on the chucks, OH yea I put a pice of wax paper on top of the slot where the glue went in, if you don't do this you will be in trouble.

As you guys can see I have a big aluminum plate that I laid on top for good meassure.

Also just to be sure I put the actual wing tube in whli the glue set.

Looking good Primo !

DAAYUM PRIMO ..YOU SURE YOU AINT GOT SOME CAJUN BLOOD IN YOU...YOUR BUILD LOOKS FIRST CLASS...NO REDNECK FOO-BARS AT ALLL

He knows to fix those before taking pictures and posting them !

Thanks Mark, Thanks POP'S. I'll have to say other than trying to glue one of my socks to the top of my foot no foo-bars so far, or I can do what Mark said fix it before I take the picture LOL!!!. during a build you tend to do things twice so I take my time on the first one learn from it and then second one is much faster but i still double check.

I should be able to glue in the other wing socket in place tonight so is the same set up as the first I'll just take a picture of it when I'm done.

Hey Mark you should come to our big bird flying this weekend. Come on out POP"s is only a 6hr ride.

SORRY MY HALF-CAJUN BUDDY BUT GOTTA GO TO BIG JOHNS

Sure did thanks.

I'll be getting thing here done so I can leave Tuesday after work to go to CCA, to much to do to be going to a fly in.

Have fun!!!! Drink a Corona or twelve for me.

I got the other wing tube socket glued in last night, that two nights in a row BABY and I just might wor on it tonight too.

Hey Primo,

Call me about the lawnmower engines you have for sale on FG.

I tried your number but no answer and your VM was full!

Hey guys,

I have the second wing tube socket guled in placed and while the glue was setting up I continued my work on the wing end caps. First I found center by simply going corner to corner, then I clamped it to the table and used a pice of plywood to protect the table and this also keeps the mounting block from spliting all up when the drill bit comes out.

Once i had all the holes drilled, I used a hex head 1/4 20 bolt with washer to pull the blind nut in.

I took some 1/2in aluminum stock and drilled and taped it 1/4 20, what I'm going to do is use red locktite to lock it on the setscrew. This set up should work well. That's all I have for now.

Bump

It's kind of like when you have something listed and want it to go to the top. LOL

Hey guys, back on it for a little while anyway. While I was waiting for the servo bay doors from Dynamic balsa I finished gluing al the balsa sheets together. Last night I worked on laying out the ailerons on the cores and where to cut the foam for the servo leads. I left my camera at home so I'll post pics late tonight or tomorrow for sure.

Glad you are back Primo. I've been having withdrawls.

I'm getting all my stuff ready to start building my 124" pro. not sure about doing a build thread,,,,,,, I may post updates here in your thread if that is OK with you Primo.

Heck yea Mark, that would be cool.

Ok guys Pictures of what I’ve done so far.

First ones are the blocks where the wing studs go thru, I wanted to make sure the hole was square so I brought then to work and used the mill, I supported the block underneath it for two reasons, one I didn't want the block to slide on the jaws and it also keeps the bottom side of the blocks from splitting when the drill bit breaks thru.

The next steps were getting the sheeting together for the rest of the foam parts. On the first picture you will see what I was working on from there you will see how I did the work.

OK as much as I hate to admit it I made a boo-boo but very minor. While I was gluing in the wing tube socket I fail to notice that the cut out on the wing for the inside ply support goes almost all the way thru the wing and you can guess what happend.

I'll know next time. LOL !!!!!

Oh I forgot look who is praticing allready.

just go ahead and start a new thread mark.

we all want to see how you build!!

I'm working on wheel paints right now, because I lost one at the Mocksville contest I bought an extra set with this new kit so I;m doing two sets and as soon as they are done one set goes on my 118" 300 and the other set will be sitting here for the 124" pro already painted and ready to go. I'm in the shop today cutting my motor box for this kit, Dennis told me to keep on of them from the production run and I told him to just take them all because I knew where to get one of those for myself. That way he has an extra one. I'll start gluing sticks together as soon as I get this motorbox cut.

Looks like he is already doing the roller !

Actually the aresti that is on his lap is the one Curtis made for me. It has nine rollers on it. Oh yea Mark I found a new 30X12 for you. I'll bring it to Camden.
