Re: Build: Dave Anderson 1/3 scale Howard Pete
Horizontal stab and elevators are assembled.
The ribs are 1/8" x 1/4" strip glued on edge in the appropriate positions.
I used my balsa stripper and ripped a bunch of 1/4' wide strips from 1/8" thick sheet.
Used the plans to mark the positions of the strips and glued away.
This is one of those times when CA would be beneficial as using the aliphatic glues is a little time consuming. almost tedious. If you can tolerate the fumes, use CA.
Next is to sand to shape. As sanding is my least favourite task I'll start the vstab and rudder instead.
