Default RE: Warning: Hangar 9 Rant

I spent the money on a super stick, was only my 3rd arf aside from molded foam aircraft. All looked well until the epoxy cured of course, I thought maybe something was under the fuselage when I set it flat, until I put a ruler next to it. I can't even describe how many times the sides of the fuse didn't match. I set it on one side and traced the profile, then cut it out. I set it on it's other side and laid the stencil over it...what the??? It was hard to tell by just looking at it since it was all white, but that stencil made it look like night and day. I managed slice off the Hstab and sand down the Hstab area and wing saddle to match. It did fly after all my corrective surgery, but sheesh.
