Jan 05, 2020     No sanding today, just planing - (2 hours) Category: Wings
Spent a couple of hours going through the last pieces of wood to make the spars. Since the spars are made of laminations to get the required depth, I decided it wouldn't be an issue to glue a couple of pieces together to get the required width for one of the laminations. Additionally, I was able to use a 12' section of lumber to cut the required pieces for the rear spar. I will have to splice a short section onto the pieces to get the required length of 13' though. Not an issue. As long as it's done as per AC43-13....

Also cut and planed additional lengths of 6mm x 12mm for stringer material.

No pictures of all this work. There is just a huge pile of wood shavings that I created outside in the subfreezing temperatures. I was trying to get it all done before the real cold weather that we're expecting later this week. -20C uggh!
