  • Inspecting the angles, getting ready for spar bending

    Since the Expedition's wing is scaled up from the Patrol wing, I figured it would be good to verify the angles are correct. Taking a look at the plans for the forward and aft spar flanges:





    And comparing them to mine:







    So far, the proportions are spot on, and the angles are within my tolerance and easily tweaked to accommodate assembly.

    I'm getting my cut list together, so I can get to Oshkosh next weekend and get stiffeners and attach angles cut, and get all of the spar webs bent. Here's hoping I can get everything together by then.
