Checked the plans to try to understand your confusion.
There is a flaw in the plans regarding B8 and B9. They are shown on the plans to go all the way to the centerline of the boom. In reality these formers are glued on top of B10 and should therefore be trimmed off 1/8 inch near the centerline.
My plans show when building one boom, you need two B10s.

Hi Per,
Thanks for the information. What you suggest makes sence, sadly not evident on my plans. I will rebuild the booms.
Thanks again

Hi Warwick,
I will have to check this on the plan this evening. Will advise if correction is needed, however, as Per has pointed out, both booms are built completely flat on the work surface and then joined and capped.
Will advise.

Hi Kerry,
By re cutting B8 and B9 and gluing them onto B10 instaed of the stringers all is very straight forward. The way B8 and 9 are cut with notches for the stringers I could not quite see how B10 worked.
All is very good now and progress being made.
Thanks

Hola,
These servos are used in gliders of 4 meter wingspan are Metal Gear,are very fiables. The Flight of the Vampire, is how little of a glider, his maneuvers with tail rudders are not very demanding and very well fit the space available. Not a Bandit or similar model, the rest are 14Kg servos on all controls and in the elevators one of 24kg.
Thank you,
Greetings
Norbert

Hola
After finishing work in construction, electronics and turbine, yesterday we went to make the first flight of the Vampire, it was great, the Vampire responded well to the controls and there was only a problem on landing by a center of gravity somewhat conservative, perfect rest.
There is now only paint finish and enjoy much of their flights.
Thanks Kerry for a good design,
Saludos
