2m glider

[LitterBug]

This feels like a time capsule. I just finished my first year of college and I'm revisiting this page I made when I was 15. I still have the plane. Should I finish it this summer?

YES, finish it!

Sure. So going from where we left off, this is the state of the fuselage. It's good apart from a broken former. I guess my plan was to sheet the thing with 1/16 balsa

I remember the thing that turned me off this project was the wing mount. I don't totally remember what my plan was in designing it, but it's probably going to be difficult.

Finished the bottom sheeting today. Had to sand the formers a lot to get things to fit.

you can do it!

Working on the wings now. Im changing a couple things. I reduced the chord width and switched from gull wings to normal dihedral. The fuselage is looking good.

Made the rib template and cut out all the ribs for the right wing today.

Taking a slot out of the spars so I can splice them together. Basswood only comes in 2ft, not long enough to span a wing. It's usually done with epoxy. Since I'm working in my bedroom, I'll use wood glue instead to avoid falling into a permanent sleep.
