Items needed:

This is what you need to complete the framing of the kit.

-PBG C/F 7/8x30" wing tube and socket
-PBG C/F 7/16" stab tube and socket
-2 gator style wing adjusters
-2 Gator style stab adjusters
-landing gear of choice (ES long gear works best, alternative is Comp ARF Integral or Impact gear)
-Wheel pants (small)
-2 BVM style hatch latches
-motor mounting system (Esprit/cambria or "X" mount)
-36 pieces 1/16x4x36" contest balsa (LIGHT!)
-2-3 pieces of 1/16x4x48" contest balsa (LIGHT)
-3 pieces 1/8x4x36" contest balsa (LIGHT)
-2 pieces 1/4x4x36" contest balsa (LIGHT!!!!)
-2 pieces 3/8x4x36" contest balsa (you get the idea)
-1 piece 1/2x4x36" contest balsa (ditto)
-1 piece 1x4x36" contest balsa (getting the picture?)
-1 piece 2x4x36" contest balsa (this one can make or break ya)
-1 piece of 1/8" light ply for misc stuff
-West system 105/205 resin for sheeting OR
-polyurethane glue (You BETTER know what you're doing with this stuff!)
-various CAs (mercury adhesives makes some really good stuff for composite bonding, M100XF)
-Straight, flat table
-72" straight edge (available at any hardware store)
-various sanding blocks, permagrit files, etc
-Fuselage jig (optional, but VERY nice!)

Now that I have been using the perma grit files, I don't know how I ever did without them. Especially the round and flat files. They can REALLY make life easy.
I use a small hard piece of 3/4" MDF board wrapped in sticky back 80 grit paper for general building, as well as various blocks, bars etc. use the hard 80 grit blocks and the flat perma grit file for general fitting. For sanding sheeting, I use 220 grit paper on a 3m block. I also have a special 90 degree block I use for truing the edges of the wing and stab cores. I'll show you this later....

Ok we'll start with the cores as this is easily almost half of the work.
