FP 202 Scratch build from Prints E107 DON'T DO THIS!

I like to share my mistakes as it shows how dumb I can be and yet build a strong safe airplane. And it shows how easy it is to fix mistakes when building with wood.

Thanks Tim! This is very encouraging. It shows that most things are fixable.

nice thing about wood.... very forgiving.

I still have no idea what was wrong with it exactly. The rear spar, the angle to it was a 1/4 of an inch back? It was "that direction 1/4 inch"?

If you looked straight onto the front of the leading edge, the root was perfectly straight and square from the main spar to the trailing edge... But the rear spar had slid to the left ¼".

TIM!!! My Loehle Sport Parasol wing looks very similar, it is almost 30 years old and I am making minor repairs to recover it, but I have issues, I am going to make a video for you to look at and consult on for FREE :) If you will.
