Default Sheet a Q500 Wing

The following provide the basics to sheet a foam core wing. Kevin Matney (from Matney's Models) taught me the basics and now this information is being provided to you.

The cores shown were purchased from Don Stegall. Over the years Don has provided cores and sheeted cores for some of the popular Q500 racers.

I purchased the 10.5" x 48" by 1/16 balsa sheets from National Balsa. Contest or Light grade balsa wood is recommended.

Two sheets were joined using masking tape to make a sheet resembling a book cover.
