Default RE: MICK REEVES SUPER REAPER BUILDING

Here are a few more pics. One shows the relative thrust line of the turbine in relation to the wing. Second shows the vertical fin to wing joint. The key to a nice fit here is to place the wings on the fuse & clamp the spars. Install a couple of strips of 80 grit self adhesive sandpaper to the top side of the wing so that it is fitted against the fuse side.
Once you have your verticals built and the balsa wedge glued to the vertical.... you can place the vertical against the fuse and sand back & forth while holding the vertical tight against the fuse side. Do this while making sure to keep the top side of the balsa wedge parallel to the top edge of the fuse.This will give a perfect bevel on the outside bottom edge of the vertical at the point where it meets the wing.
