I cut them off, I am going to do more scale nacelles now.

Funny, you are the only one who noticed and asked.

Cheers,

Once again, truly awesome!

What glue are you using for the sheeting? PVA based wood glue?

Thanks!!

You prefer CA due to the faster setting time (wood glue needs to set overnight, at least the ones I use) or is there other "special" reason?

I like the CA that is thick so it fills any gaps, but also because it sets in about 20 seconds. I am putting on 4" section at a time. To get them all lined up and stay tight to the stringers/ribs would be hard to do with a slow cure glue, at least for me it would be.

Thanks, DAG

OK!! Yeah, it wouldn't be easy be to lay up all those sheets and keep them in place overnight while the glue sets!

I was just curious if there was any other special reason, other than the setting time. Thanks!
