Default RE: Top Flite GS P-47 sports scale; diary of a build

Ok first day at it. I spent most of the day geeting ready and setting up my work space. But I did get something done The LE and TE, ribs are all glued in and ready for sanding and sheeting. One thing I dont like is the sheeting lays over the LE. You have to sand it to shape then skin the surface. I prefer to do the LE bigger and have the sheeting butt into the LE, then glue it all down, then sand the LE to match the sheeting. Just my preference. I haven't looked at it but if there is enough balsa on the LE I may just do that. we will see. I got my first look at this stab so I am working on the hinges as we go. I cut a few G-10 pieces to play around with. Onward!
