A little progress XL H-58

A hacksaw works on the Ouija board principle for me. The more I try to affect it's outcome, the more dismal my future looks.

Left wing spar glued up in the jig. Note to self.. do not make two left wings. 

Put packing tape on the jig to keep from gluing the spar to it. Hopefully..
Learned a valuable lesson today. Just because it's plywood, that doesn't mean it is straight. Spent the afternoon waiting for the glue to dry and jumping through hoops getting straight edges on the spar webs.

I cut my spar webs about 1/4" oversize and centered them as best I could. Then took router and trimmed to match spar. Used 8° wedges on router base  to match my 8° bevel on upper front spar caps.

A good idea..but there isn't enough plywood in my "kit" to do that.

Yeah, no matter how many times you scarf it, it's still too short.

Wow. I don't know what happened to that picture size. Sorry about that.

I've always said "the pros make it look easy".

Thou shall not covet thy brothers welder, or CNC

Right now i have more time than money, when that flips (more money than time left) Fedex will bring these parts...

WTG!

Several years ago, Dorcia and I had "the talk." "You know how we've been saving all these years for our old age? It's here." 

[Chuck in Indiana]

Added a few hour's worth of "lightness." 

[Kamcoman77]

How much did the circles weigh? Mine weighed 1-1/2 pounds (front & rear spars).

[Chuck in Indiana]

The fronts weighed .34 oz. each. Of course, there would be a little more that that removed because of the saw kerf. So .34X34 pieces is 11.56 ounces plus. The rears would be a little lighter, but I didn't weigh them. Sounds like a pound and a half is about right.
