NewWay Angled Invader, Part 3, Gluing Up The Wing & Filling Balsa



The kit includes a variety of jigs to help alignment when gluing.
These are cleverly laid out on thick cardstock.



The first piece is used to align the two piece wing fin. The alignment piece is to the right in the first picture.

After glue is applied, use some weight to hold the two pieces even and flat.


On this small fin piece, the grain runs down the leading edge at the right, wider end of the fin. The tip on the left side broke off! Not a big deal, glue it back on and sand flat.




Here's the balsa after a brushed on coat of CWF was sanded. The pieces were then taped to cardboard and sprayed with filler/primer.
