Gorish, Put the leading edge and trailing edge on after the balsa skins are bonded to the foam. This will help to shape them properly. Also, use a flat block of 320 sandpaper to level out any imperfections in the foam prior to applying the epoxy and do this carefully not to distort the airfoil. Dan
