Part #3 Flaps





After shaping the rib stubs, the flap pocket was technically complete as far as the plans went. I thought I could improve on the appearance of the pocket, so I decided to go one step farther and skin the pocket with 1/32" balsa.




Knowing how thin this skin was, I decided to keep the cap on my trusty Titebond glue bottle shut and opt for using epoxy instead. The reasoning behind this decision was because the water based Titebond glue would have surely warped the thin balsa sheet. Epoxy was the right choice...




One flap pocket complete, time for the other side!
