Sonerai 1 A-Mod Angle Length
All that stuff is old tech I will be using epoxy primer in the future. -
Sonerai 1 A-Mod Angle Length
I also did not like the splice idea .With my wings I made the shorter cap strips equal to the 48†and then went with a 48†angle. If you do this after riveting the top skins you will not have to space it down at all. -

A sad day!
I corresponded with Tom a few times he seemed to be a great guy. We shared interests in experimental aircraft, aviation, and USPSA competitions, my other time consuming, wallet draining hobby! Tom freely shared with me some of his machining skills and info about carbon fiber layups. He will be... -
Racegunz's Sonerai 1
So a productive holiday season with both wing tips and ailerons installed. I have both wings on the fuse to set up the rear spar carry through and aileron controls. As I mentioned way back the fuse is wider than a stock Sonerai. I fit the control parts after the wings were on etc. I went with a... -
