Last week Friday I closed the 2nd wing, with help from EP. We’ve built up a nice routine and division of labour, so that closing it now takes us less than two hours. On Saturday I took the wing out of the vacuum bag. After sanding off the rough edges the scales showed a weight of 518.5 grammes. That’s a weight difference of 1.1gr compared to the first wing we built earlier last week (519.4gr.) – the closest I’ve ever come with building wings and well within the margins. Wing flex and torsional stiffness of both wings seems excellent.<\/p>\n

All the main bits and pieces of the Monerai are now ready in their “crude” form. Now comes the long process of putting it all together. Just to see where I am weight-wise I weighed all the bits – it adds up to around 2.4kg. My mate Richi, whose monerai is ready for its maiden flight, has a take-off weight of 3.6kg. I hope I can keep mine in that same range, but under 4kg.<\/p>\n

Today I worked on the tail end, skid and canopy frame. I also installed all the wing plugs in the fuselage. Next step is to sand the abachi on the wings, before fitting them to the fuselage and then glassing them.<\/p>\n
