Question about glassing: Did anyone leave any extra space between parts if you are planning on glassing or does the added fabric, primer, paint, etc only add very little additional size to the parts?

Great jog so far, keep it going!

Now for the question: Everyone has a different way of doing things, so this is how I do it. When I glass I always glass the wing first, then I check the fit to the fuselage. After glassing the fuselage I check the fit of the control surfaces and then glass or cover them, some may be fabric. When I'm sanding them to conform to the glassed and finished surface I leave a very small gap to allow for covering material.

Here I'm checking the fit of the flaps after glassing the wing, then a picture of the finished product.
