<DIV><FONT size=2>Nat,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>First you have to cut a slot thru the foam core at the end of
were the tube</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>will be. This will serve also as the pocket for the ply
tube support. The slot </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>size is 3/4" x 2 1/2". All pockets required are cut before the
actual wing core</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>itself is cut. I trim up all my foam blocks to the same size
before starting to</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>cut the actual core itself. Make yourself a new cutting-bow
out of a piece of </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>1" x 2" </FONT><FONT size=2>wood and drill holes for the legs
(5/32 dia. music wire or 2 old main lg's.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Insert these thru the outward pointing holes right up to the
coil. Cut to length</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>about 5" below coil. You can solder your wire for the current
right to the </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>coil.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Now here is the part that takes a little more work.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>File or grind small hook shapes at the end of the legs. Make
up a cutting wire</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>that is when finished about 2" shorter than the distance
between the two legs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Bend small loops in the cutting wire on both ends. These will
hook onto the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>small hooks on the legs. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>First burn the starter hole with heated 5/32 wire and than
insert the cutting wire</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>thru this and hook onto the legs of the bow. The coils in the
music wire (gear legs)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>will give you the tension required since the cutting wire is
about 2" shorter</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>then the uncompressed ends of the legs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have been trying to get some pic's attached, but they are
too big in size</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>to get to the list so I will try to send those direct to
you.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Hope this helps.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Lance, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have cut the holes for the wing tube socket with a
hot wire</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>and two templates mounted to the work bench at the
proper</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>height to be on center of where the tube hole should
be.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The socket hole is cut before cutting the core
itself.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>You need to make a slot in the core where the end support
of the </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>tube </FONT><FONT size=2>is going to be to insert the
template that is mounted to the bench.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I then burn a small hole thru the center of the templates
in the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>core with a hot piece of music wire held in a small
machine vice</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>that is guided along a straight edge. Then I thread the
wire for the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>cutting bow thru that hole and start cutting following the
two</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>templates. Start with a low heat and try the fit. If the
fit is too tight</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>just increase the voltage a little and go around the
templates again</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>until you achieve the proper fit. Of course you need a
variable power</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>supply. Sounds more complicated than
it </FONT><FONT size=2>really is. Now when you </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>cut the core, adjust your tip template to get </FONT><FONT
size=2>the proper dihedral. Works</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>for me.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>That's a hard one, Mike. Both Terry and
I use a similar method. We had a machine shop make a jig for the
cutter. The cutter is a length of 7/8" wing tube with a ground
sharp edge, but the jig to hold it has got to be made presicely. I
used to use a seemingly accurate jig made to the plans provided in a
KFactor several years ago, but my results were not good enough.

<DIV><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">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.</FONT></DIV>
