The description and drawing aren't bad at all but there are a few tips I'd like to pass on, because precise adherence to the technique as shown in the drawing will probably lead to failure. 1. Draw the wing on card as shown, leaving at least an inch (25mm) free card all around. Emboss the rib stations with the wing blank on top of several layers of cartridge paper. 2. Emboss *past* the edges of the wing as drawn or you'll get uneven rib depth 3. Fold the card envelope as shown then trim the *top* layer about 3mm from the trailing edge. If you cut on the line it'll be too small after the core is inserted. 4. Leave the extra inch of card on the lower edge. You'll see why. 5. Tape down and insert the core as shown. Go easy with the double sided tape holding the card to your work surface or you'll screw up the wing getting it off again. And for goodness sakes make sure the work surface is FLAT ! (I have an embarrassing story :-( ) 6. Rimell (and Harry Woodman, who first described the technique) uses a *little* bit of solvent cement run around the edge of the envelope. This is why the lower side is left with an overlap - it prevents capillary action taking the cement under the wing and ruining the surface. BEWARE ! Too much glue and the thin (10 thou) card will collapse in spots rather like sink marks. Too little and the TE will split later. 7. I use CyA. LOTS of Cya. Flood it onto the TE and tips and let the overlap catch the excess. 8. Trim the wing to size after the glue has had at least 24 hours to dry. Be prepared to run a little CyA or liquid cement along the edge if trimming takes it back past the deepest penetration of the glue - usually not much of a problem. All this makes it seem harder than it is. I can make a set of wings, top and bottom, to the glued and waiting to trim stage in 2 hours - next night I spend an hour trimming the TE and an hour or two messing about trying to get the wingtips right (always the hardest bit) Try it - this is the easiest bit of scratchbuilding, so there's no need to use wings with incorrect number or spacing of ribs or startving cow syndrome Shane ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 07:40:59 +1000 From: Shane Weier To: "'wwi@pease1.sr.unh.edu'" Subject: LVG C.VI WAS: WWI model Message-ID: Dane replies, and revives an idea: > >I just received the LVG C.VI Datafile reprint last week, and > > admit that it had me contemplating a scratchbuild of THAT > > instead of a Caproni or whatever.

While I can't comment specifically on the actual rigging, be sure to look at photo's. We all know around here that the Datafile drawings aren't all perfect. As far as the elevator horn rigging, it comes "out" of the fuselage by the pilot, "attaches" back to the fuselage under the gunner, then continues on to the control horn. > Finally, I made the mistake of using the black coloured > semi-crcle/arch-shaped cutout on the pilot's gun.

Just cut off the "black" part, sand the brass part where it was glued to, and re-add the "clear" part. If you don't have the "clear" part anymore, just attach a piece of clear to it, and sand the plastic back to meet the brass. HTH.

I solve the first by using an electric sander which my beloved wishes I'd use on the furniture it was bought to renovate, and the second with spray cans of cheap acrylic primer meant for use on cars. BUT...I tend to ruin a few cores by going into daydream mode and sanding the coe into oblivion ! > Do you still use balsa Shane, or is there some quicker wonder > core medium that I missed during my absence from the hobby? I wish there was, or if there is that I knew about it. But balsa is cheap, light, strong along the grain and flexible across it - to allow the camber - and available. Anyone with better ideas - I'd love to try them!

It was a 12" figure laminated from 1/4" slabs(it's not always easy to get thick blocks), and I even washed the thing a time or two in warm water and detergent. I always squeeze my wood before I buy it and go by feel- some slabs are softer than others. Robert K. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Jan 1999 18:48:37 -0700 From: "D.

Caught it half way through. Some new footage of FE2b in flight. Good interview with Peter Bird's son. Who's the 17 year old kid who looks like MvR? Spooky. I take he's a descendent of some sort. Gotta go phone the network and find out when they're repeating it.
