Many people seem to be able to do gliding a little bit. I don’t do “little bit”, so I needed my own glider, and a hangar. Fortunately, I arrived just as CuNim finally decided private hangars were acceptable. After a year of rigging the APIS, it was time to get to work.
These photos are from the building bee that put together three CuTees, for a Duo Discus and two Arcus M.
Stakes and Bailer TwineLooking for the natural gas line 🙂Measure, tamp, take your time…Seems impossible that a Duo Discus will live here in a few weeks.All of the wood above grade is rough cut spruce, still wet. Worked perfect, and so cheapThe big cantilever starts to emergeRoof “trusses” going upWing boxes start to emergeOSB and glue Sheet metal, the biggest expenseJohn Kopala, the mind behind the design, and Mark BowmanA few inches of tamped gravel and some surplus heavy plastic fabric make a floorSupervisorAll done, and the Arcus hasn’t even arrived yet. I wonder if it will fit?The hangar dimensions came from printing out a scale drawing and measuring…Yes, ZWW fits!
