Before filling the balsa,
Check the fit to be sure the wing tip is perpendicular or at a 90 degree angle to the larger wing fin. Sand and square up the outside edge of the wing if needed.
The engine mount tube will extend 1/8" out the back. It's not glued in yet -
Don't forget to fill the visible seam on the engine mount tube.
On the left, CWF has been brushed on the balsa nose cone.
On the right is after the filler/primer has been sanded down.
I'm squaring up the nose cone shoulder edge. Pull the nose cone out slightly. Run a folded piece of 400 grit sandpaper around the open joint to sharpen the shoulder lip and smooth the edge of the body tube.
Here's the engine mount glued in with 1/8" of the engine tube extending out the back.
