STEP 2.  MAKING THE BLUE MAX WIND TUNNEL MODEL

Formers assembled

Slots are cut centrally in the plywood formers to allow the plan and side elevation formers to be literally slotted together at right angles. 

Its a good idea to glue the formers together using wooden blocks and screws to hold everything in place until dry.  Nelson couldn't wait for the glue to dry - he used a quality PVA based adhesive (Gripfill) to bond square cut foam inserts into position to lock the formers.
