Default RE: Top-Flite 1/5th F4U Corsair ARF Group Build and modification thread

Cole,
To answer your question about my post of 197:
I glued the shaped balsa wood fillets to the fiberglass tail tip with CA. Then I used bondo filler to cover the balsa wood fillets.
I used my finger to shape the bondo that went into and between the fillet and the fuselage tail tip.
Does that answer your question?

I just had a thought. While I was trying to get that shape of the rudder I decided to take the scale drawings I have for my scale documentation of the outlines and enlarge them to the size of this Top Flite Corsair.

I have access to a large format printer and I made the print out. Then I realized that I could simply print the entire plane and this would give actual panel lines. All in the correct places without using one ruler!

I'll post photos soon.
