Back. I'm Motivated to work! Had my favorite dinner!

 

[Wurger]

That's good news.

Harry would you be able to bore two or three holes in the front edges of flaps? These have to be of quite small diameter.

 

[B-17engineer]

Indeed... what'd you have for dinner?

Do you mean the slanted part?

 

[Wurger]

Fried ribbs, boiled potatoes and vegetables. And you?

And yes I meant these slanted parts.

 

[B-17engineer]

Pretty close to what I had! Pork with Barbeque sauce on bread, baked potato and salad

It will be a challenge to drill these. It'll take a while!

 

[Wurger]

But don't do it at the moment.Wait.

 

[B-17engineer]

Ok gotcha!

 

[Wurger]

Here you are a diagram that showes how to attach these slanted parts to the model.

A. This way is quite easy.Firstly you have to bore two holes in the front edge of the flaps. You have to remember the diameter of a drill bit has to be the same with the one of the wire but thinner than the thickness of the front edge of a flap.Two piece of the wire have to be glued with the CA glue to the flap and the lower inner side of the wing half.

B. This way is similar to the A one. But there are attached two styrene cubes into the inner space of the wing. In both cubes there are drilled holes for the wire.But before these additional parts can be attached you have to bore holes in the flap edge and glue into them the pieces of the wire.It is important because these styrene cubes have to be set at positions firstly in accordance with axis of the wires in the flap.

So think over whether you can do that and if you have a such thin drill bit and wire.If not, we will find another way for attaching of the flaps.

 

[B-17engineer]

I mean staples are thin, can I use those as a substitute for the wire?

 

[Wurger]

Show me these staples please

 

[B-17engineer]

.

 

[Wurger]

Oh... I see. You might use them but these aren't circular in a cross-section. So I don't suggest that.

 

[B-17engineer]

I don't have anything then

 

[Wurger]

Is it possible you can get some wire tomorrow? If yes we can postpone this till tomorrow.No problem for me.


And a pic for the flaps.

 

[B-17engineer]

I'll ask my mom, she's the one that is home.

 

[B-17engineer]

My mom said she'll look tomorrow. Can't promise though.

 

[Wurger]

OK. Harry maybe your dad has a piece of any cables in the garage.Inside of them there is a lot of thin wires.It is enough to remove insulation from it and you have a bunch of wires

 

[B-17engineer]

Gotta take a look.

 

[B-17engineer]

No good. Nothing there.

 

[Wurger]

OK. I have to go bed. I have to get up early in the morning. We will continue tomorrow.
Keep working on the Ju-87 in meantime.

Sleep well.
