RE: Royal Zero Kit Build into Rufe
At this point, the stab has been flipped over to sheet the other side. It had to be shimmed up 5 ways to Sunday because not
only is the taper front to back, as was the case with sheeting the first side, but the leading and trailing edge is tapered side to
side. Everything got razor-planed and sanded to shape before this second side got sheeted so it would match the tapered
fully symmetrical airfoil as shown on the plans. This 4-way taper can be seen in the shot where the second sheeting has been pinned in place. Once dried overnight, all overhanging excess gets razor-planed and sanded flush around the perimeter. The solid
balsa tip blocks get glued in tomorrow and then the leading edge gets sanded to an airfoil shape. More to come. G.
