Estes Alien Invader #3003 Build, Part 5, Balsa! Lots Of It



I don't always sand the balsa sheet flat. I depends how rough the sheet is. Sometimes if the sheet is smooth I go right to freeing up the parts. This one was rough.









I said there was a lot of pieces.
ALL the leading edges will be rounded.







The curved inside edges of the forward wing pieces were sanded square with some 400 grit wrapped around a 24mm engine casing. This keeps a squared edge on the inside curve without breaking off the tip just to the right of the casing.
