Chapter
14: Main spar
Next
Home Previous
In this chapter we build and install the main spar. A
jig is built on the table to provide support for the foam and to
keep all the angles correct. There really is nothing too
difficult or new here assuming you have delt with spar cap tape before.
In this pic you can see a slight mismatch between the LXY and the main
spar. Also, the plans have you put a bevel on the entire forward bottom
of the spar, I think if I were to do it again I would stop the bevel
just as it goes inbord of the tub. I will have to use a lot of flox to
fill this.
As of Spring 2007 this chapter is on hold, I have
the wings done now and sometime this summer I will finish the chapter
by installing the spar into the tub. I want to ensure everything inside
the tub is complete as possible because once the spar is installed
it will be difficult to flip the tub and putting it on it's side will
be a thing of the past.
