Default RE: Goose's H9 F4U Corsair ARF bash
The test fit looks good and after some careful sanding, will fit great.

I cleaned up the end caps for re-use and removed the balsa rib from the spar to the TE as the plywood cap has to bend through a curve to the TE.

I marked a 2mm line inside both end caps as this now has to go inside the center section to be flush.

I used a disk sander which made short work of bringing these down to size and made some balsa stock with the correct angle to help support the endcap now the inside rib is removed.

You will need to trim the LE reinforcing and the spar pocket to receive the end cap.

Thats it for tonight...

Cheers
