Re: Arado ar 196
Hey Scott, this is 86" wing span, you want larger ? I'd like to see that.
Here are the pictures, going with 6-32 stainless steel bolts threaded /glued inside carbon fiber rods, then the rod go inside the 1/2 ' aero tubing , the one piece is a ruff spreader connection that will fit into the upper stainless steel brackets, pretty close to the real one. may look for a small stainless steel collar and drill it out to accept the screw heads then weld it in. sure a learning curve using 1/16 stainless rods in a stinger . sure wish I had a tig welder, all in all think it looks pretty good, never welded any thing this small.
Oh the wood block was a jig I made to hold the bolts in tight while I weld the heads together. would use the same kinda thing if I do the collar way. Did a small dato cut on top of the block,the 1/8 saw blade width was perfect to hold the bolts tight.
