My dad came over last night and I got to show off a little bit. When I picked up the freshly cured tab facing spar I noticed that I hadn't got the plywood all the way flat in one area. I had read about using a heat gun to soften the epoxy but hadn't tried it until today. I removed the piece of plywood and then glued the spruce together that had separated due to the heat. I spent some more time tidying up my work area and planning the fuselage assembly jigs.
Number of hours: 1.2
Total hours: 82.8
This blog was created to detail the construction of a French ultralight designed by Claude Piel called the Onyx. It is built with sitka spruce and aircraft grade birch plywood. I will be fitting it with a Koenig SC-430 2 stroke radial engine.
