Some of this build will be out of instruction sheet order. I often look ahead for steps that might involve extra wood grain filling before assembly.
On the lower outside edges of the wing fins are laminated wedges (Parts C). These are made up of four pieces of laser cut balsa.
As always, I cleaned up the laser cut sides just removing the wedge cut. I don't sand off much, just enough to square up the sides.
Four pieces are glued together. Make two sets.
On the left, the back sides are lined up on a straightedge while the glue dries.
The picture on the right shows a before and after sanding of all the sides.
The front landing "skid" has a balsa center piece with four holes (Part W) .
Carefully cut through just the hold down tics and remove the dots.
More prep on this skid piece in the next post -
