Update!!
I have the fuse totally built and the tail sections done... on to building the wings next... I still have to add the chines to the fuse. If you guys have pics of the chines or an example that would help greatly! I have a brand new OS LA .46 im going to mount up top for power. so far the part that took the most work was the balsa block nose and getting that to shape correctly. I found that a palm power sander with 100 grit paper worked nicely then finish sanded with 220 grit. I am not however, looking forward to the big balsa block behind the fuel tank.... what are some methods you guys have used to shape these the best/easiest?
will add pics later
thanks
Jon
