How To Properly Build RC Airplane Wings

I am working on the center section of my rc airplanes wing. http://www.howtomakercairplanes.com/rcblog As you can see here I am test fitting the wing ribs to the spar and spar web. Test fitting the ribs to the spar will ensure that it all goes together properly before you glue it together.

 

 

Review: Spektrum DX8 and DSMX

Is the DX8 and the new DSMX 2.4GHz RC system from Spektrum as good as they claim?

I put the DX8 and DSMX to the test in order to find out.

Is this a radio you can trust  your RC plane or RC helicopter to?

 

 

Covering Compound Curved Surface with Monokote

I'm no expert at covering model airplanes with Monokote, but I have read enough on the various forums to know a lot of people have a hard time obtaining wrinkle-free covering jobs on compound curve surfaces, such as wing tips and fuselage nose areas. It is actually quite simple with a hot air gun and a bit of practice. The two biggest challenges are not burning your fingers, and not letting the hot nozzle touch the Monokote.
