<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. </FONT></DIV>

<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>
