we are getting there slowly.
need to start thinking about running all the wires and then fitting the air system for the retracts.

had one of them days today.
the glue i had left setting all night did not hold the rear of the nacelles together when i removed the clamps.

so i have had to do it all again and leave it to set.
gave up and slung the wing in the corner and did a different plane instead.

well i went to unclamp the nacelle this morning and it is holding, so i quickly fixed the 12mm balsa over the top and left to set.

then we re did the rear of the outer nacelle, will finish sheeting that tomorrow if it holds.

then i can blend them into the wing surface and we can get motoring again.

araldite Alan.

still it is holding now and once the top sheeting is on, it will stay in place ok.
just frustrating as it holds everything up.

Tony - when I use Araldite or any other epoxy glue I have had separations as well - particularly if the ambient temperature is low - I've found a little bit of heat from a heat gun thins down the glue and helps it penetrate into the balsa/ply. I NEVER use 5 minute epoxy though - I've found it doesn't penetrate to well before it cures.
