RE: TF Contender
Looks good.
Somewhere someone said "Don't sand when you can plane, don't plane when you can carve". Sage advice for all balsa shaping.
I hollowed out my lower block after shaping but before gluing into place.
Still waiting to get mine in the air. The Fox 46 aABC refused to tune. Mounted a perry carb and test ran what a difference. Works great.
