Quest Aerospace One Part 4 Steps 11 - 12 Wood Prep

We'll skip over Steps 8 through 10 for the moment.

Step 11 has you glue the wing parts together.
Like the instruction illustration shows, Waxed paper was taped down. The two pieces were glued together, lined up on a straightedge.
Weights were set over the joint so both pieces would glue flush and flat.

Step 12 has you fill the balsa grain. This is a good move now, it'd be very hard to get in all the nooks and crannies after the wings and rudders are glued onto the body tube.

I used thinned CWF. After brushing it on one side, the balsa was warping. Don't panic if this happens. Simply brush on the filler on the other side and it should counteract the warp.
Just to be sure, I set the wing back on the waxed paper and set on the weights to keep it flat while the CWF dried.

Be sure to check the root edge and sand flat if needed.
Check out the size of the wing, it's bigger than it looks.





This is a LOT of balsa to glue up!
