now its time for the ailerons. After forty years of diging out hing slots with a knife, my wife got me a slot machine for cristmas last year. If you plan to do much building I would highly recomend getting one. I like to cut the slots befor sanding the angle, its easyer to find the center. Next will be to join the wing haves. hkbii.

Howdie gents, lets take a look at the servo hatch. Well I shure goofed. I put the mounts on the top of the wing. I put a new sat on the bottom. I cut the hatch for a tight fit then tape them to the wing. from the top of the wing I set in two strips 1/8x 3/8ths one on each side. These strips should fit between the mounts. After the glue has dried sand the eages about 3/32 sd off each side, this will allow room for the covering. then I put tape on the mounts. now I put the hatches backin and then sand flush. hkbii

now I'll glass the center section. I will be useing a polyester fab, and epoxy . Useing the sealing iron I heat the fab, this takes the tension out and lets it lay flat. I mix the epoxy and then add about 30 % alcohol to thin it out. with a foam brush spread a thin coat on the bottom of the wing. now lay the fabric down and starting in the middle spread a thin coat of epoxy. use just enough to wet the fabric and work out all the air. Now do the top of the wing. After the epoxy dries sand it with 220 foam sanding pad. use a lite touch and small circular motions. Now put on one more coat and sand agin. hkbii.
