Horizontal Stabiliser, fitting spar and front ribs

2 years ago

| Build time: 3 hr

Bonding the spar and front ribs of the horizontal stab.

It's not easy squaring everything up when nothing on a plane is square... lucky we've got jigs!

Lee scrubbing the bonding areas with 80grit

Takes a little time to vacuum and clean the surface with acetone, but gotta make sure the epoxy can make the strongest bond possible

Test fitting spar in the jigs

Applying epoxy and flocks

Clamping in place with the jogs

Christiaan double checking my work... within tolerances! ;-)
