Default Balsa USA Enforcer

ADSpattern
I was a novice at building the Enforcer. I made a big mistake on the leading edge. The plans say to curve the leading edge skin over to the leading edge strip. Leave 3/32" above and below the rib when you glue the leading edge strip on. Run the balsa covering up to the 3/32" you left. Then shape the leading edge to the airfoil. I (stupidly) tried to curve the balsa over the leading edge. I knew better but did as the plans showed. As a result, I sanded the balsa so thin trying to shape it, I had to glass the wing back to where the covering began. Lot of work for nothing!
Also I agree with the comments above, place the aileron and elevator servos in the wing. You get nothing but slop doing as the plan shows.
