Spiderbaby,

I've enclosed a picture of an Arrow II that shows the wing area that I'm talking about.

From what I can gather and from how it looks in the photo, this part is built onto the wing and not the fuselage.

When you say that you're probably going to fit the wings to the fuselage when you build them, do you mean that you intend to permanently attach the wings?

Separately, I don't know how far on with the build you are, but when planking the upper fuselage it becomes a pain when you reach the tail end. However, rather than worrying (as I did) about keeping everything neat and trimming parts so that they fit perfectly, don't bother. I found that there is enough spare balsa planking to patch up any poorly covered/messy areas, as long as you're prepared for a lot of sanding.

Thanks,
and all the best for 2006!
Andrew
