AMR GiantStick - Wing Parts

There are a few parts that need to be laminated with epoxy on the wing. W1, W3 and W11 all have one or more parts that need to be laminated. The manual is a little ambiguous about how W3 is laminated with W3A's and W3B. There are two W3A's laminated on one side (the wing root side) and W3B is laminated to the outer wing side.

W1 through to W3 holds the phelonic tube for the wing joiner. W11 is just the tip rib and is made of two parts.


Like the fuse I decided to flip through and laminate all the parts that need to be laminated for this wing half at the one time, this saves epoxy and time.


A little tip when you are using epoxy is to put the epoxy in some warm water this helps the epoxy run more freely and saves weight, and makes working with the mix much easier.
Don't use boiling water though, this will speed up the curing process too much and your 30 minute cure will become 10 minutes.
