LESSON IN BUILDING!! Hello Guys, hope your day went better than mine! I was out today working on my wings for my Jungster 1, and after 5 hrs of prep and gluing I heard the worst sound a homebuilder can hear..... CRUNCH, CRACK, SILENCE!, Then 15 min. of severe, prolonged cussing! I glued my false spars for the ailerons in to the ribs and had it clamped , and 10 min later bumped into the bench, the whole thing fell off the work bench crashed to the floor, and broke off 2 of the ribs, top and bottom caps, trailing edge and all. I can fix it but, for about 10 min I thought about throwing the damn wing pannel in the yard and running it over with the Allis Chalmers, and starting over. I got one rib is fixed, now I have to scarf in some trailing edge stock, and plywood strip and try to keep it looking steright. One bad thing about wood is it can't be driled off and replaced like aluminum airplanes. However I am lucky it broke where it did (If you can call it lucky) because I can fix it relitivily eaisly, and cheaply. The hard part is going to be scarffing in the trailing edge pieces and make it look profesional. LESSON: MAKE SURE THAT WHILE BUILDING YOU KEEP THE STRUCTURE WELL AWAY FROM THE EDGES OF THE WORK BENCH, AND IT CAN NOT TOPPLE OVER, OR OFF THE BENCH, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS TOP HEAVY BECAUSE OF "C"CLAMPS, OR OTHER HEVY TOOLS. I will try not to add too much more "charactor" to my airplane untill I am ready for fabric and paint. LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE!!!!!
