Don't go too crazy guys. With some 36 grit sandpaper glued to an aluminum angle, you can probably sand both wings completely to shape in 2-3 hours. That's probably less time than we've killed dreaming up a "better" way to do it. I thought of a "better" way to do it with the internal fiberglass

That is interesting Paul Maybe next time around ask the fellow about the wire. I could cut smaller blocks and glue it all together or glue it all together - paste some .25" thick .25" under sized airfoil templates on the ends - set the wash out - and let the wire do the work following the templa

I buy my foam from a cool room manufacturer. They make their own polyurethane foam sheet. They pour a mix into a steel reinforced mould 1.2m x 2.4m x 1m deep and lock a lid on before it expands. This results in a block of predictable density foam that they then cut into sheets (any thickness) usin

I used .065 Aluminum from Spruce and several hole saws from Lowes on my first panel. That worked out OK, but I have had the next two water cut by a machine shop owned by one of our EAA members. I had the Aluminum, and I think it still cost me around $200. He said that most of the cost was in the

KR> laser cutting panel

Oh, and you'd be better off to waterjet it than laser cut it. Laser cutting is better for steel, waterjet is best for aluminum. Aluminum dissipates the heat of a later too quickly, and steel is tough to water jet. Either will work on either metal, waterjet is more efficient on .060 aluminum.

Yes, and Diehl wing skins are longer than stock wings, but I don't think they lower the stall speed enough to get you into the LSA category, unless you build it very light. And I mean less than 500 #, and then, who knows. If you just want to lower the stall speed, add flaps. See N64KR at http://K
