    • Sometimes I want to just find something wrong with your setup just to be right once in a while. But its impossible. Really nice execution Gunny. The transportation strips are a home run.

        LOL, Thanks Len! Too bad I didn't think of the transportation cover before I cut the first wing bags' T.E. open...

    • Wow Gunny! You just keep impressing me. Looks great!

        • Finished developing a set of stall fences for the Cessna 185. They are CNC cut from 1/6" thick G-10 and are locked into position in the wing skin with 1/4" square magnets and a 1/16" dia. pin.

                            LOL, 6 passenger glider!

                        • So, Got into Cessna 185 mood again and decided to draw up the spacing of the control surface corrugations.
                          Then I was contemplating of using scale "plastruct" abs angles glued onto the covering, masking and painting them,,,, Ah, no! So I decided to go with a faster and simpler method of simulating them by ironing on 3/16" wide strips of covering material. The orange ultracote is opaque and I would like to see the crease line down the middle (sorta like a 3D effect) and I simply used a fine point marker using a 1" wide spacer to mark all the lines. Having a laser cutter, I cut a bunch of the covering material strips. I used the small trim iron and stuck them down. Another reason I went with this method was as a tow plane Im sure the tow line would have unziped a few of them off the rudder or elevators if a glider got out of wack.
