Estes Gryphon #7280 Build, Part 2, Cleaning Up The Laser Cut Balsa

I'll be building this model for Estes as a "show" model. You probably shouldn't fill and paint a glider, the extra weight cuts down the flight duration. This one will be filled and painted.

Looking close at the booster engine tube "hook", there is some laser cut wiggles. These should be cleaned up before assembly.

Look close at the lower right of the wing halves. There is a small curved corner. Be careful not to sand this off -





As with most laser cut parts, the cut is a "wedge", wider at the bottom of the flat balsa sheet.
Square these edges up with a sanding block being careful not to change the shape or make the pieces smaller.






The "H" piece is an Alignment Tool. It's handy to have in a kit like this, giving you perfect 90 degree alignment of the glider parts.
