Default RE: ZN Line Xigris Build Thread

Then with the alignment done I went to work on the wings/stabs, and left Nedim to the fuse. We will get back to it in a while.

First thing on the wings/stabs/rudder is to prepare capping and rough shape it with a planer and a bit of sanding.

Then I installed the moving surface capping with the parts still attached. ZN slots the wings/stabs so I put the capping in first, this allows you to easily preserve the wing/stab shape while sanding since everything is still attached. Its important to run the capping about 1 to 1.5" inboard of the aileron root to add strength to the wing.

I used poly urethane glue for all the capping as it provides the best bond to the foam.

Sand those aileron caps nice and smooth with an aluminum bar.

This is it for tonite, more tomorrow
