<DIV><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Thanks Jim and Lance,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I was thinking it was a much more complex set up but I can see clearly how your set up works. Simple is better very time. The photo is clear and appreciated. I was thinking more along the line of a vertical set up in a drill press.</FONT></DIV>

The foam will brake loose about every 3 inches and needs to be ejected from the sleeve.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN class=EmailStyle18><FONT face=Arial color=navy size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt">I cut the tube hole before sheeting as I use a partial rib to support the outer end and need the tube sleeve to locate it before sheeting the core. The core is supported in the shucks and shimmed as necessary to the proper dihedral angle. The tube is slightly above center at the root to get the outer end near the center. The core blank is cut with the root parallel to the centerline so it is easy to cut the tube hole 90 degrees with a simple guide for height and square ness. See photo. I hope I reduced the photo enough to fit this post. Contact me directly for other or larger photos.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face=Arial color=black size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Terry Brox's web site on balsa skinned wings is very good and does show the drilling of the servo lead hole with a tube and by hand. <BR><BR>Their is some great information on these sites on building foam core wings. But a very important part of a plug in wing would be the wing tube sleeve hole in the core, to be straight and parallel to the desired line centered and at the right angle to set the dihedral. Is there a site that explains or shows the process of set up and drilling of this hole? If this step is not perfect looks to me like the wing is dead no matter how good the skinning process is.</SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN style="COLOR: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
