Default RE: Black Magic VF3 E build thread!

Lastly (for now) we need to finish capping the wings and ailerons.

Make the wing capping out of 1/4" contest balsa, and the LE of the aileron from 3/8" contest balsa. Make sure that the aileron capping is well oversized.

Using the same glueing methods outlined earlier, glue and tape the capping in place.

Place the ailerons down face first on a table. if you lay them on thier sides, they could possibly warp. Adjust your tape so they stay straight.

After a couple of hours, sand the ends flush and install the end caps on the ailerons and wing. These are made from 1/8" contest balsa.
