Soggy Wing
On Saturday I was flying my BNV and well it just felt strange.
Guess I'd got some snow into the battery bay and everything got soggy.
Once I let everything dry off I opened up the front section to determine if the BNV could be saved.
I removed the damaged front section as well the paper from the top and bottom of the battery bay.
I paid attention wing sections adding foam pieces to prevent the sides closes to the battery bay from crushing down.
Even with the repairs done the wing was "floppy" a lot of strength was gone so I opt'd to try the corsply.
The new pieces were glued to the sides where I'd put in some formers.
At first I was going to offset the camera but then I just decided to centre it.
Added a double layer bulkhead increased the stiffens of the wing hugely.
You can also see a fresh piece of foam board on the belly covering off off the battery section all the way to the spar.
I will most likely redo the rounded nose section or at least cap them off so no snow gets inside.
Added new bigger hatch.
A side benefit of all of this is I no longer have to add the 3 allen keys to get my CG.
Let's go flying.
After 2 LOS flights to setup the trim and balance I went FPV flying.
The first time doing fix wing fpv since late 2014!
Enjoy the ride.
