After seeing Brian sharps fantastic pt asw 20 fly at the mynd over the weekend I have started my build. The fuz is from cliff Evans and I am cutting the wings myself out of blue foam. started yesterday fitted spars today.

What wing section are you using Roo?

[roo Hawkins]

The same has the original taken from the root and a tip template taken from Brian sharps at the weekend. Brian sharps few fantastically over the weekend so can not see that it needs changing. The span has been lengthened to 5 m though. Roo ☺

Roo,
In that case, it is almost certainly a Ritz3 section as for the PT Vega.

Leading edge cut off and shear Web cut and will be glued in later today. When I cut the leading edge off one wing had a bad bow in the inside panel from the bow drag. So I cut a new panel and grafted it with the old outside panel. .so now all good.

All the spars fitted and glass tape applied. Now ready for veneer.

Leading edge and trading edge glued on and shaped. Wings filled had to mix small amounts of filler has it was going off to fast in hot weather .

I have got back to doing the asw 20 after taking a break from it because I wanted to get two other fuselages glassed before the cold weather is here. As they are too big to fit in my hot box. I have glassed the wing tubes in the wings and fuz. I have also made up the joiner out of 14 mm steel rod glued inside a 16mm carbon tube.
