What's up fellow glider guiders, scratch build enthusiasts, bums, presidents, addicts, aliens, and proudfoots
Today I went to Walmart where I work and bought a table about the perfect size to go where the passenger seat used to be in the minivan.
Then, I stared at it for a while and thought about a bunch of stuff that doesn't matter, started drooling a little, wiped the drool on my pants, and pulled out a sheet of foam board.
Right now I got these spars and I glued some tubes to them, wrapped the glue mess around several times with strong plastic tape and I think they'll stay put after they're encased in the wing roots... then again, maybe they won't. Thats alright.
I cut a bunch of tapered foam pieces. I'm going to glue them to the flat carbon piece. They're tapered because the airfoil is going to be thicker at the root than at the tip. The root is 3/4" high and the tip is 1/2"
