If I practiced, or had a much larger saw, I could probably get it down. I just don't want to take a chance and mess up so I carve it down close, then sand it right on. A palm sander does make things go quicker, you just need to use a finer sand paper like 200 grit. I've also seen the dremel tool planer atatchment that looks way cool for this process.

Status: offline 		By trade I am a carpenter and I use the same method for wood paneling and wainscoating. I would think so long as you had a helper you could do it. For that matter perhaps its a posibility to do this PIOR to installing them. A simple jig of the female verions of your bevels would allow an accurate alighnment of your hinging.

Regarding the taper of the wings, I dont think it would be an issue. The portion being cut is going to be up againse the fence of the table saw. This will ensure a straight cut so long as you hold it firm againse the fence. I might trim a few pieces as an example to explain what I am talking about.

Status: online 		Yep, its getting closer. Looks like you did a good job on those wings! Glad to hear it flew great. I've got the right wing about rapped up. I went through some tools I had and found a long bladed sheetrock knife. This worked very good for carving the taper on the hinge line. I spent about half the time carving, and I needed very little sanding afterwards. I should have found that sooner!! I've got a strong 4.5" deflection each direction on the ailerons.

Great to see you found a solution. I will post some pictures of my little carpentry experiment. Heck I should make a website with all the little tricks I have learned for model planes and carpentry.
