Default RE: Guillow's #303 Piper Super Cub 95 Build

Great TFF! Nice to hear somebody else is working on a Guillow's Piper Super Cub.

Moving on with my build, as I mentioned in an earlier post, cutting out fuselage formers for the right side worked much better than the first set. After sanding the back side lightly with a fine grit sandpaper and starting with a fresh sharp razor blade instead of the #11 hobby knife blade, I was able to get them out without breaking any. I think the sheet of balsa this set came from was also a bit better stock. I noticed after test fitting them that I would have to trim them back quite a bit to get them to fit against the left side formers. Before I tried fitting them, I thought there would be a big gap that I would need to fill to have them meet but that was not the case.
