My back garage has not progressed (ok, I added on to the house, got a new puppy, put a clutch in the Miata, and enjoyed the summer a bit) to where I can build wings in there yet, and the racecar isn't gone until spring.
Soooo, I need to build in the basement, where the emp, spars, flaps and ailerons have been built. Based on a 3D CAD rendition, the wings will not make it out of the basement assembled, even without leading edges.
The instructions have us building up and riveting the spar back skeleton before moving on to fitting the skins and LE's. I can't do that, as the skeleton won't make the turn, even if I remove the furnace. Bummer.
My proposal for your comment: fully drilling/cleckoing the skeleton, and moving on as if it is riveted, working the skins, LE's, etc, then disassembling the whole mess for deburring/dimpling/alodine. It will all be final assembled in the summer in the back garage.
I can fully build LE's and tanks, of course.
This way I can keep working through the winter.
Does anybody see a huge problem with this?
Thanks,
Rick
