I have finished building my fuselage and wing of my lt-40 kit
i just finished gluing my stabilizer together i followed my instructions to the letter i have a very flat work table and built it over the plans now after the glue dries instructions say to sand the stabilizer on both sides. All the leading edges are
5/16"x1/2" balsa and the ribs are 5/16"x5/16" sq
so when the glue dried and i removed my stabilizer from the work table the bottom that was against the table is flush all the way around. All the ribs and the stab center section and stab L.E. joiner on the top are about 1/16" above the leading edges now i was wondering should i sand my stabilizer flush on the top and bottom i'm having problems figuring it out be cause the instructions say only to sand the stab to smooth out all the glue joints and not to sand more then 1/32" under the original 5/16" thickness well if every piece was exactly 5/16" why is there the 1/16" above the leading edges helppp pleaseeee what should i do?
