Ata, surprised to see all the planking in the tail?! It's MUCH easier to take a whole sheet, wet it, and mold it around the structure without glue. Secure it with masking tape, leave it overnight to dry, then glue it the next day. MUCH nicer result with minimal sanding/filling.

You can actually do compound curves (engine cowlings and canopies) with this technique.

Hi,

I finished setting up the adjusters. The fuse rear is planked, it needs a lot of sanding. Before I apply the second sheeting of wing I should make the wing retainer hooks. Could somebody give me any idea how should I make them?
