This small front wing piece had to be cut down the middle. There was no laser cut line down the center of the two pieces. I drew that center line with a pencil and straightedge.This missing laser cut wouldn't be a problem for an experienced builder, but a first timer would be scratching his head.
The Technique Tip for the “double Glue” method should have been moved down before Step 16. It doesn’t apply to gluing together the two wing pieces.
Step 15
I prefer to use thin CA to glue the strakes onto the wing pieces.
I know, I should have wax paper under the balsa.
The side of the angle piece (or any straightedge) keeps the root edges aligned.
This step is not in the instructions, but should be done.
Sand the two root edges square using a sanding block.
Every time I’ve made two piece fins like this, they have always been a little off. This root edge sanding will insure they are both flat and in line with each other.
