Default RE: BRIO Construction by the numbers

Inconsistencies will for the most part be within the tolerance level of final sanding, 220 grit followed by 400 grit. Note that two or three passes on a leading or trailing edge with 220 grit sanding block will be 1/16 inch.

While building the second BRIO, things take much less time than the first. Moving the landing gear plate, acutally measuring up 5/16 of an inch works much better. This allow the slot, once striaghtened with the tool (1/16 ply with some sandpaper on one side). So step 1 is drawing the lines, step 2 is cutting inside each line with the dremel disk, and step 3 is final sanding with the special tool.
