When you guys are building these wings does the bottom layer remain flat when the glue has set and clamps removed.I found that even though my eagle wing was flat when clapped there is now an 8mm rise to the LE from the bottom edge of the spar.How will this effect the wing ?

Anton,.. Posting the pics of your Impala's just make me want one even more now,... Might jut have to do something about that but eagerly awaiting the Corro-pala ,...or corro-Macchi

Bakkie,.. Mate another great movie,.. I am so glad I found this thread and even your local thread heaps of info and great Corro flying!,.. Thanks to all you guys,,. You seem to have so much fun!,..

Howdy,

Corrosair

I am about to glue in the tail elevator section to the fuzz and am not quite sure if both sides of the elevator are supposed to work independently ? The plans show a staple shaped object connecting both sides.Does the push rod from the servo connect to this ?? What is this staple shape made of and how does it go in ??

any help at this point would be great !!!

Hello headon

when "folding" the wing, it is very important to keep the leading edge down tight against the table, Sean and I both use a wooden jig that is cut an angle. Be sure the LE of the wing is wedged tight into the corner, then clamp the wing trailing edge down. If the wing is built correctly, you should notice a slight undercamber, when removing the completed wing from the jig. see the A-10 pics here

the Corrosair wing is obviously a bit more complicated, but the principles are the same

the elevator joiner is simply a metal wire bent in the shape of a staple, per the plans. you can sharpen the tips to make the metal joiner a bit easier to push into the correx flutes. the elevator control horn is mounted to only one side.

What gauge wire do you use FBI?

Its called 'coat hanger'# gauge special run.Dont worry I got many more stupid question to come yet

Thanks again FB for your input.

"I can only get 3.3mm coro so will they fly OK all in 3mm ,wings and all ?"

Headon, 2mm white Coreflute available from here
.
Coloured 3mm available from some sources and of course 1/8th inch too.

Rusty. Thanks for posting the correx supply link. I find that finding correx is not easy in some places. I will add that link to page 1

A coat hangar will work just fine.

I only have "plastic"ones!

headon, you can just ignore Jane, he is just poking fun at how we Americans use 'guages' to size our wires

Please don't forget the tip tanks !

OK,moving along

Should the front and tail wing be level to one another , horizontaly.?? I am sure there is correct terminology I should be using here ,I just dont know the lingo

Never mind my jack a$$ comments!

You are 100% correct.
It's referred to as the wing incidence, and yes it's set at 0 deg.
It's the imaginary line taken from the wing leading edge to the trailing edge.
(A profiled section is hard to lay down "flat")
Post some photos, it would be great to see your progress!

yes guys.....please post some pics,...

surely there are other Corro-slopeys out there, that have been built with the plans from this thread.....

My corosair ,its been a big learning curve ,cant wait to get this done ... and flying.
Fuzz and wings all 3mm.I cut out every second flute on fuzz and top wing surface to reduce some tension and easier glue down.
Used hot glue on fuzz and contact adhesive on wings.Both take only 30 to 60 sec to go off so the build can continue on all day and night
I use a fan blowing across the work bench continually to get rid of the fumes and it helps the glue to kick off.
Its been an intense few days
