All the lines? some for the rudders but the others? maybe you getting to that later. Can't wait to see more......
Thank's Bill
Per_N, Looking at the Elevator pic above
,,, those vertical lines on the Leading edge (LE), sand them down back towards the first Horizontal Line and stop there. Flip it around and sand the Trailing Edge (TE) vertical lines back towards the horizontal line and stop there. Now go to the ends and shape those too.
Using those Vertical lines as a reference for sanding, you'll be able to shape the Balsa tail a little easier. Once that is done, I glass the entire tail and sand again when its cured. Then I cut the Elevator in half and Epoxy the 2 halfs together at 110 degrees. Also at the same time I'll add a peice of fiberglass cloth in the center.
