Default RE: Avistar Question

If you must 'glass the wing, please remember that you must absolutely NOT score the balsawood under the covering when you trim it. Scoring the wood just marks it with a "break right here". This is especially true when trimming the covering on the horizontal and vertical stabilizers. We've seen models that crashed because part of the tail blew off because the skin was scored when the covering was trimmed prior to gluing.
