Good morning Mark. Without a doubt it is the best way to get an accurate wing. I have a biscuit tin with about fifty years of templates in it because you never know. Thanks again Mark.

Hi Terry, thanks for the comment, its appreciated. Now I bet that is an interesting biscuit tin, would be great to have a look through, a really history of model making right there. As you say always worth saving the templates!

Thanks Mark. Always learn something every time I watch your videos. My favorite DIY RC channel.

Great posting, as always. Could I suggest applying CA to the edge of the plywood template to roughen them to stand up to the sanding. Reapply as needed.

Thanks for the comment, and appreciate the suggestion. CA will certainly make the edges harder, but the ply is much harder than the balsa and I only hand sand, also you can hear the sound change as it touches the ply.

good stuff!

Pleased you enjoyed it, this is a link for a video dealing with tapering wing which I hope you find useful 😀kzread.info/dash/bejne/qIGszaaHodi4qdI.htmlsi=NiYbnnszicmJYe6b

Really enjoyed the video, but I tend to notch out the templates for the spars. Then cut thru the sandwich of ribs with razor saw, then make any adjustments with a needle file. Until a offcut spar material fits snuggly 👍

Grazie mille per il commento, felice che tu lo abbia trovato interessante. Il longherone è realizzato per 1/4 di balsa dura

Hi Mark. Nice video. But what is the best proces to make identical ribs by small "peanut" planes? I dont think that threaded rod on such a small ribs is good idea. Threaded rods are not that small and than it could be not that rigid to sand it a so on...

Thank you for the comment, appreciated. I have never tried making ribs that small, but I guess I would just try scaling it all down and using the same technique and see hoe it goes

what size threaded rod did you use?

M2 rod 😀
