Default RE: AR-6 Wing mold construction

Sorry for the delay.. I had to get a quickie ready for the first NCPL race.. Didn't really matter though because it rained out after 2 heats.

I added a piece of 1/4" square stock balsa down the trailing edge of the wing. This allows for a sharper finished TE. It also gives a little wiggle room on trying to get the parting board to line up exactly with the sharp TE of the wing plug.

Anyway, to speed things up I decided against finishing and painting the parting board and instead used some old cream colored Monokote.. I know remember why I don't use iron on covering anymore.. Besides hating it in general, I suck at it.

More to come.
