The servo bracket is bolted to the plywood mount which will get epoxied between the rib bays that I reinforced later.

Using a pencil, I'm marking the exit position of the drive shaft.

I added two slots at the base of the aileron servo brackets. these will allow the bracket to be adjustable. This may not make any sense yet, but in sort order all will be revealed...

All of the ribs that support the aileron servos have been laminated with plywood are completed.

Here is the blank that just needs a bit more work before I glue it into position.

End result is a much sturdier rib that will not flex.

Blank is now glued and clamped into position.

The bay between ribs W-9 and W-10 will support the aileron servo. I want to strengthen these two ribs by laminating 1/16" plywood to their sides.

Back view of the bracket. These brackets are super strong, light and easy to make with just some simple hand tools. I will take them to my shop at school later and glass bead them to give them a nice uniform finish later.

Back view. When making these brackets, always be sure to leave maybe 1/16" clearance between the servo and the bracket to avoid the air-frame's vibration from getting to the servo.

The servo is secured to the bracket using four 2-56 cap head screws and nuts. As I said, these brackets are super strong and I've never had a failure using them in any of my other planes.

Stopped work on the fuselage for now because I have the parts that I was waiting for to complete the wing. I made this custom aluminum aileron bracket that will hold the aileron servo into position.

Close-up of center line. The center line is there on the plans, use it!!!

There's a lot of prep work that has to be done before any glue gets spread. I removed all of the die cut plywood Formers from their sheets then I sanded both front and rear surfaces. Next I sanded a 90 degree angle to the bottoms of each Former. The next step is probably the most critical one. I transferred the fuselage center line onto each Former.
0
2019/09/02 16:09:04
Each Former's center line was marked. I can emphasize how important this step is. When placing the Formers into position, I don't need to worry or look at the sides of each Former, as long as the center line is on you wont build a bannana boat!

The 1/16" drill bits shown align F2 to F2D correctly. Once the epoxy cures, I will enlarge the holes to 5/16" using my drill press. These holes will allow the wing dowels to align to the fuselage.

The plywood had indentations where I drilled two 1/16" holes that will be used to align both parts before glue-up.

The second former (F2) also requires F2D to also be laminated in front of F2.

Starting construction of the fuselage requires you to first to laminate two 1/8" plywood formers (F1) together with epoxy. This will ultimately become the firewall.

Waiting for some parts for the wing, so in the meantime this is where I store it in my small workshop to prevent it from getting dinged.

While waiting, I cleared off my worktable and decided to start to frame up the fuselage.

The wheel wells were painted white now as they are exposed, because after the sheeting is attached it would be very difficult to paint. I mixed a small batch of white Klass Kote Epoxy paint which I brushed on.

At this point the wiring for the wing is now completed!

Note were I chose to to run the extension wire for the retract. I deviated from where the wires are shown on the plans. I much prefer to have the wire run in a part of the wing where there isn't a chance for for fraying or for the retract to tug on the wire during operation.

Here are the two wing tips lights for the right side. It was a snap to fish the wires through the existing rocket tube...

With the retract wiring completed it's time to run the navigational lights for the wing tips. Each wing tip will have two separate lights. One color depending whether left or right along with a white strobe light. Here is the schematic that should clarify things. I think I may have already posted a picture of this schematic earlier...

Close-up of were all the wires terminate. I will not drill any exit holes at this point. I will tend to that task after the wing is sheeted, glassed and painted. Doing it this way the wires wont get in the way and they won't get painted.

Retract extension wires (purchased separately from Robart) were run in place.

Wing is now one piece!
