GLIDING INTERNATIONAL - JANUARY 2009 ISSUE
.. We have all four full-carbon wing skins for 24-01
done and we'll be trying to close wings around then.
Be sure and use enough goo. I'm looking at a section sawed from an
ASW-22 wing, that met with misfortune. Schleicher used styrafoam dams
on both sides of the upper spar cap + one in the nose and one more
just forward of the drag spar. The height of the dams was set to
insuer complete coverage + about 10% which is forced into the edge of
the dams. The cabicil is troweled in to be level with the top of the
dam. No excess oozing out and running down the spar shear web to get
into push-rods and things. Slick and no worrying about, "did I use
enough goo"?
