Silence of the Laminates #5


Here we (that's 'we' in general terms, you just have yourselves a good time and not bother about me) are applying the lateral stripwood that will support the running ski and these bad boys measure two metres (6' 7") apiece.

Don't forget to leave an overhang six inches (150mm) behind the rear spar, where the motors and propellers will be located.

Notice that I forgot to fit the foremost engine to the trailing-edge spar before it was secured in place, which is why I no longer work in assembly at Airbus. People along the line just looked at those wings saying, But aren't we missing something here?
