Drying glue gives me a chance to post...

I purchased a set of Permagrit sanding tools in both coarse and fine for this project. I got tried of taping sandpaper to dowels They work great. Sanded the webs then before sheeting I made a paper tube for the aileron servo lead and glued it in place. On with the 1/8 sheeting and TE balsa. I tack glued a 1/32 shim to W-3A and pinned it per plans. Sheeted the aileron and placed all the cap strips. Then more sanding...

The wing was removed from the board and all joints were glued. The wing was placed on blocks again on their taller side with 1/8 shims except the outer TE to keep the washout in the wing. Sanded the webs then sheeted the bottom. The spruce rails were added and the cap strips placed. At this point I noticed the 1/16 ply servo hatch would be about 1/16 deeper than the cap strips so a took some of the 1/16 ply scrap and placed it on the spruce rails. The servo hatch now sits flush with the cap strips. Yes I was very careful with final sanding to be sure I didn't make the strips to thin around the hatch.

I chose to do the LE and TE sanding with the wing on the board. It''s secure and safe. Measured the LE and TE balsa. Glued the LE on and am making the wing tips.
