Default RE: Insight build...another wood roach.

Progress:

Glued in 1/16" ply plates for use as hardpoints on ailerons and elevators....will do the same on the rudder

Sanding on wings and fuse....a bit of filler and will do some more sanding....the surface must be good prior to glassing and paint...

Added an 1/8" hard balsa strip to the trailing edge of the wing for a stronger, cleaner T.E.....will sand flush tomorrow.

Laid out cheek template on the sheeted core in its shuck....ran the whole assembly through the 9" bandsaw. Will cap the ends and hollow out one for the head of the OS before gluing to the fuse sides...
