Default RE: Howard Engineering - Qwik Fli III – Build

I didn’t take any photos of the wing covering process. After the trailing edge was completed I sanded the foam lightly with my long sanding block to smooth the surface in preparation for Dave Brown’s Sorghum contact glue. I did the usual butt joining of the 1/16 wing skins, etc. After the wing skins were glued on with the Sorghum I sanded the leading edge and glued on the leading edge ¼” balsa sheet and shaped the leading edge contour into the wing sheeting. Next I sanded the trailing edge and glued on 1/8” square bass wood strip. The wing was then sanded with my long sanding block to shape the bass wood to the wing contour and a nice sharp edge. 2” wide wing tips were cut from light balsa blocks.
