Chapter 21  Strakes


 This is another really extensive chapter as it covers the building of the strakes, which includes integrating the spar to the fuselage building out the fuel tanks, and finishing out the baggage areas after cutting through the fuselage sides.  I incorporated a couple of key modifications done by other builders here and the amount of work really suggested breaking into sub-pages like I did with Ch 18 Turtleback/Canopy.  You can use the links below to get to each of these sub-pages, or navigate the "Chapters" Tab list at the top of any page of this site.

Ch 21 Part I:  Spar Integration to "Top Hats" 

Ch 21 Part II:  Bottom Skin to Top Skin Final Prep

Ch 21 Part III: Top Skin Bond to Sealed Fuel Tanks

Ch 21: Strakes Part IV: Misc Completion of Strakes
