REFLECTOR: Strake construction method?

[lawrence epstein]

I am in the same sized garage. I waited for good weather and put both wings on in my driveway for about 3 days to do the strake bottoms and then took the wings off and did the baffles, etc.. Then I moved the fuselage back to the driveway, put the wings back on and did the tops.

It was a pain, but it sure was worth it to see the neighbor's looks when it was out there!!..

Subject: REFLECTOR: Strake construction method?
















I'm building an XL-RG in a 28x24
garage/shop. If I try to put both wings on, I'll have to build a temporary wall
where the garage door is, have most of one wing sticking outside and be
somewhat cramped for space inside. 



So I thinking about doing it one wing/strake at a time. 



Of the people that have built strakes one at a time, did
you run into any issues with that method? If you had to do it again, would you
rather have both wings on and do both? 



Thanks.
