Quest Aurora Build, Part 6, Cradle and Flap Cut



The glider cradle pieces were filled before gluing beside the lug.

CWF is water based and there will be some warping after the first side is pained and drying. When the other side is filled the new wet filler will counteract any warp.

Here's the two cradle pieces back to back after sanding.
There is very little warping.

The wing halves are taped together.
Pencil trace the line on the rear edge of the wing marking template.
This is the cut line for the flap hinge.



You'll have to cut a little more than halfway through the balsa to make the hinge.
It's hard to get a clean straight line bend on the top.
