Y'all,
I completed the first of the tailplane layups and ran into a snag. A
section of the bid that runs from 2 inches forward of the rib's leading
edge to the midpoint of the core's leading edge in the bottom rebate did
not stay down during the cure. At first I thought there were only a
couple of high spots but further examination revealed otherwise.
It looks like I've been able to heat and clamp down the majority of this
run, but I'm not sure what to do with the leading edge. I don't have
any clamp that can grip this well; the slope of the airfoil at this
point causes them to slide right off.
Has anyone else had a similar problem? I'm keen to hear any suggestions
you may have concerning repair.
'Till then,
Steve Genotte
