Default RE: Lightning Build

Back from a semi-warm tropical vacation with my wife, great time!

Now it is time to put 3/32" balsa gussets between the formers and the fuselage sides. Once that is complete, 1/8" by 1/4" balsa stringers are run down the turtle deck. One word on stringers; pre-cut balsa sticks are 10 pound plus balsa. You can save some weight by cutting your own from 6 to 8 pound balsa. I finally bought a Master Airscrew stripper and it worked like a champ, I would recommend it for a project like this.
