Biscuiting Spars & Drivetrain Assy

Cutting outer wing spars to length


We continue to biscuit and glue sleeves into the main wing spar parts.  We're also starting to assemble the Prop Shaft Assembly, starting with the Prop Shaft Rear part, gluing in Titanium bearing seats and stiffening biscuits (both balsa-faced and carbon fiber faced).
