Balsa USA Smoothie RC Plane Kit Build No 17, Wing Mounts Part 1
In this video I install the wing mounting dowel located at the center of the wing at the leading edge. In an earlier step, a slot was cut into the center front rib assembly to accommodate the wing dowel. In this step I have to drill a hole through the leading edge of the wing to expose the dowel slot. It was a little time consuming because I needed to make sure I didn’t drill the hole off center from the slot. I also show how I located the correct location for the hole that is drilled into the front bulkhead that accepts the dowel. It’s a tricky little step to make everything is lined up correctly. In the next video I will install the mounting block and bolts that hold the trailing edge of the wing to the fuselage. I will also show hot to measure and align the wing so it is in the correct mounting location on the fuselage in the next video.
The Balsa USA Smoothie kit is a 40 class (size) sport plane and has been around for a long time and is still readily available on the Balsa USA website. Balsa USA also has a larger version of the plane called the Balsa USA Smoothie XL. I will be using an OS Engines 46 AX2 glow engine to power it and Futaba S3004 servos, receiver, and 6J transmitter.
For this balsa kit build I use traditional rc plane kit building techniques. In each build series episode I will focus a different aspect of the build including the wing, fuselage, tail section rudder and elevator, engine mount, landing gear, tail gear, engine set up (OS Engines .46 AXII), fuel tank, servos and receiver (Futaba), Sullivan control rods and horns, Monokote covering, carving and shaping wood, using CA glue (Zap CA glue, Starbond CA glue), epoxy (JB Weld, Bob Smith Industries, Z-poxy finishing resin), Titebond Wood Glue, tools and everything thing else involved with building a radio control plane kit (RC Airplane kit).
I have been building, flying, crashing, modifying, and repairing radio control planes (RC Planes) for many years and enjoy sharing what I do with the radio control plane community, so I started RC Plane Tech channel for fun. I am not an expert, there are many different techniques to building radio control planes. A good way to learn about flying and building rc planes is to see what others are doing, that’s what I do and that’s why I like to share what I do. Thanks for watching my channel. Have fun!
