4 pieces 1.4 oz glass cut 1” larger than molded piece for each tail half
- 2 pieces 1.4 oz glass 1” wide to double up on the center section seams
- 1/32” contest balsa cut 1/8” smaller than mold. Cut out 1” wide by 7” long rectangle for hinge material. Bevel all edges
- Fit hinge .005 fiberglass sheet (cut on bias) into rectangle cut-out, lightly scuff the sheet with sand paper. Use a tiny piece of masking tape on both ends to hold in place to balsa (tape will be inside the piece)
- 4 pieces .75 oz glass cut 1” larger than molded piece for each tail half
