Default Re: n00bs Gonna Build a Carden

Thats a good trick Fixed Wing. I found that on the wing panel where I trimmed the skins the edges had good adhesion. On the other panel I got ahead of myself and didn't trim them before I put the glue on. That panel will need some work to get the LE to stick down.

I didn't get much done this week. I just sanded down all the skins on the parts to the shape of the foam. I'm also working on cutting out some H-Stab root caps in light ply. These are for the anti-rotation mod that Walt does. It looks easy enough and thats how 90% of the ARF's work.

What kind of filler do you all use?

Oh and one other topic; Shop Heat. Being a Caymanian I'm new to working in the cold like this. I had to go out and get a Kerosene heater for the garage. It was just too cold in there to work. some of the glues and stuff down work below 40 degreed F. I feel like a hobo every time i go warm my hands over it but it really works well! What do you all do for shop heat?
