The single dot on the left side designates Kit #1, the dots on the right will match up fin pieces 1 through 4.
Hang on to it for some scratch build designs.
The edges of parts F and G were glued together and placed under a clear Plexiglass cutting board.
More weight was set on top after I made sure the root edges on the TTW tabs were lined up. You can sand and match up the outside edges later with a sanding block.
LOL, I do the "Sharpie dots on the root edge" also.
ReplyDeleteHi Neil,
DeleteGood to know I'm not the only one!
A few years back I was gluing together some two piece fins and didn't realize the balsa halves were from two slightly different thickness sheets. It required way too much filling to even them out.
I don't know anyone who likes these two-piece fin assemblies. I usually paper these for added strength if I can't find a 3-party that offers a single-piece basswood fin.

DeleteHi Anonymous,
DeleteI'm going into detail on the fins showing how to eliminate that glue line. The two piece construction doesn't bother me. I'd probably want to paper them if it was something I was keeping for myself.
