Step 20
You are directed to glue the Strake on the center line of the nose tube. There is no Strake piece on the laser cut balsa sheet!
I did my best to cut one out using the cover art picture.
The back edge of the piece was cut to a 45 degree angle to match the angle of the mitred nose tube.
It did take some extensive filling to get the wing root edge gap smooth. I ended up using some epoxy then CWF to get the job done. You can see the launch lug in place from Step 19.
Note I hadn't glued the (launch lug) wing tip tubes in place yet.
This wasn't any special plan, I just forgot to glue them on before priming. This oversight led to more fillet work later on.
