it's time to begin...
i started with this awesome topflite kit. some balsa bashing on course!
Strarting with the tail:
Glueing the "core" of the part with 30 min epoxy, very messy for me! now my hands are completely covered in glue..
Next step: the leading edge, two balsa sticks, luckily it's not all hand job!
Cut the shape on paper and trasfert it on the LE.
These are the leading edge tips, they tack glue perfectly to the LE. I used the same method, cut the paper and transfer it on wood.
Finally, (for tonight) I tack glued these first few pieces together to check allignement.
Tomorrow i'll free the wafers woods from the clamps, sand them, do the TE and ribs, who knows, maybe i'll finish it..(i don't think so..). P.S the skins are already done, thought it was no so much interesting to see it here, they're 4 pieces of wood glued together in couples and sanded!
