Hey, I'm impressed! When is your next Akafieg?
As you know getting enough goo in the right places
has been a problem ever since we started making
plastic sailplanes...

Akaflieg Douglas Flat (ADF) VIII will probably be sometime between mid-
January and mid-February. I'll post an announcement in this forum when
we know for sure.

Absolutely we are concerned about bondline gap and matching that to
shmoo volume and viscocity. We'll be doing tests such as you suggest,
and I'll also be doing a couple of tuning closures to get the correct
depth of the main spar and drag spar. Our spider tooling is capable of
setting that stuff to pretty close tolerances once we calibrate it as
you suggest.

Thanks again, Bob K.
