 When Bob Dailey, the 1949 National C/L Stunt Champion, first conceived the I Beam method of wing construction, he had no way of knowing how great an impact it would have on the event.
The I Beam concept was adopted by the Strathmoor club of Detroit, Michigan, and for years they closely guarded the secrets of the techniques used to produce the lightweight, strong and aesthetically beautiful wings.
When Bill Werwage first saw Stunt models built around this concept, he was 11 years old, but the effect they had on him was to remain with him for the next 40 plus years. He was so intrigued by this type of construction that he began closely studying the I Beam models that would show up at contests.
Bill eventually learned from some of the members of the Strathmoor club the form of the construction that was hidden beneath those beautifully finished wings, and he began to build several models each year, refining his I Beam technique with each one.
Today, Bill is recognized as the world’s foremost authority on the I Beam wing. Flying models built around this format, Bill has won five National Championship crowns in C/L Stunt, and two World Championship Gold Medals!
Bill has refined the I Beam through the years, and now shares the wealth of information that he has gathered in this 1 1/2 hour how-to video. He details all of his building secrets, and shows in extreme close-up detail footage how to: layout an I Beam wing; construct fuselage sides; fabricate an I Beam spar; laminate carbon fiber to the spar caps and trailing edges; build a rib stripping devise; install ribs and half ribs; fit landing gear; construct wing tips; and install rib supports, as he constructs one of his legendary Ares models. This is a rare and informative treat!
Running time: 1 hour 30 minutes.
