Default RE: 4 Star 40 building has commenced!

are you making a hatch for the fuel tank area?
i don't glue the bottom ply of the front fules.
i add mounting tabs and screw that piece on.
incase i have problems with the tank, linkage, or i need to
retighten the nuts on the bottom of the engine mount.
readjust the thrust angle and ect...

i add tri to the tail feather and fules to give it more bite.

i also modify the TE of the vertical stab.
like i said ..i modified the TE of the vertical stab so
i don't loose it, incase of a nose over.

you might also want to add piece of wood to the
rear upper deck where the canopy is. the rerar of the canopy cuts
the covering.

drill tooth pitchs into the hinges before you cover..it'll prevent
lost of control surfaces and look nicer.

seal gaps between TE and control surfaces. your plane will
fly better .
don't forget to balance the wing.
