bevel the inside of the sleeve and use it to cut the hole by rotating it while
gently pushing it into the foam. The foam will brake loose about every 3
inches and needs to be ejected from the
sleeve.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P>

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>

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
