Ka6E build**
This built was started two years ago and was interupted by me becoming the club secretary. In the previous Forum I did start a built thread but will start again with what was published until then (Pdf file ) and then add pictures I took during me built restart.

Re: Ka6E built
fit plywood to the fuse. finish the top over the full length then take fuse from the jig and fit bottom ply sections

Jilles,
When gluing with this hot pva method, if you dampen both surfaces immediately before applying the iron you get a much stronger bond.

Alternatively make the joint when the pva has just gone clear but before it has dried out fully.

Re: Ka6E built**
Some random pictures of progress
Got the fuse glassed, sprayed primer filler and applied the top color on the fuse. bottom will be red
Wings and tail bits are covered with Icarex and are waiting for the paint job

Hi Jilles,
A lovely build thanks for sharing with us.
What is the advantage of putting the PVA on the wood/drying/ironing as opposed to using wet PVA and clamping?
Is glassing a compound fuselage difficult as I see the nose has not been glassed. I take it your using expoxy ?

Well done Jilles.
She is looking very nice. I look forward to seeing the finished model.

The advantage of the PVA / ironing method is that no clamping is needed at all. The bond is instant as soon as the PVA is heated by the iron and this makes it easy to cover difficult areas or tight radii where it may not be possible to easily clamp the wood whilst the glue dries.
