Estes Xarconian Cruiser Build Part 5 Wing Root Edge Sanding


I didn't align the root edges of the three piece fins. When the pieces were pushed in place the base root edge didn't line up.

That's okay, it's easier to sand the root edge even than sand the curved leading edge smooth.


When the fins were sanded flat you can see how the wing was pieced together from smaller pieces of Tung wood. The largest rear wing piece was made from three strips glued together before the piece was laser cut.

BUILD TIME
Sand and square fin root edges: 15 minutes
Total build time so far: 2 hours 10 minutes
