RE: DOPIN" IT
Oh yeah,
Forgot to mention that the flaps are U-KOTE covered but all else is painted.
What I want to try for on my next plane is a good smooth transition from the wing into the fuselage. It's called a fillet, but how is it done? When I epoxied my wing into my fuselage on my TWISTER I used a large syringe and filled it with epoxy and sorta used it like a caulking gun. Maybe this isn't the way it's supposed to be done, but my wing is solid as a rock in the fuse. I did coat the balsa sheeting all around before I slid the wing in the last inch so the epoxy is on the mating surfaces inside the profile fuse to the wing.
I have seen pictures of other planes and some of them are really blended in well where fuse meets wing. How do they do it? Is it like wood filler that is used and then a finger tip or something run along it to give it a concave shape and sanded?
One thread somewhere mentioned making the fillets and gluing them on. So I am curious as to how to get a good transition from wing to fuse. What is the procedure most guys use?
