Күн бұрынHangar rash incident and a broken wing rib.
Using some spruce left over from the build and some Oratex tape, I was able to have the Legal Eagle airworthy again in just a few hours.

Great video... I have watched your video and another one on a “rib build” on KZfaq on building the Legal Eagle ribs, and you guys are using off-the-shelf water based wood glue. That’s a no-no for a/c construction as moisture and heat will eventually compromise the glue bond. Did you build your entire a/c with tote bond???

Titebond 3 is a waterproof, high strength structural glue used for exterior applications and was the glue of choice by the original designer/builder of Legal Eagle back in the 90's and for many people since that time without issue. I used Titebond 3 on the ribs and T88 everywhere else in the wing structure.

So Oratex seems to be similar to modeling Monokote. True?

Hi C Cy. Oratex company started in fact as a Monokote competitor making shrink fabric for model aircraft before entering the "real" aircraft fabric business.

Where did you source your wood for your legal eagle, can I just use big box store?

Always use aircraft grade timbers. Aircraft Spruce is a good start: www.aircraftspruce.com/categories/building_materials/bm/menus/wp/spruce.html

Why not use an epoxy rather than white glue.
