Warping
Thanks for the tip! Fortunately, I didn't need to 'iron' the light ply. I had posted the same thread on the local flying club's website (where I hope to fly next year) and that was the answer I got the first. I was told that the warp was common and would pretty much dissapear as I actually started gluing the fuselage together. So far so good, I'm halfway through the gluing and it's nearly gone. Next plane kit though, I might consider trying out the ironing method.
But as always, here's another question relating to the gluing. I have a jar of balsa filler. As I've been gluing the fuselage together, in almost all places, the joints on the outside of the fuselage are a tight fit with no gap showing. the thing is that when looking inside the fuselage, a gap shows. Yesterday I used some thick CA and applied some all along the inside of the fuselage, but the wood simply seemed to absorb it, and there's still a gap. Should I simply run some balsa filler all along the inside edges of the fuselage (not much, just to fill the gaps)?
With all these construction questions, I feel someone might start to think I'm hopeless I'm building [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
